Ah yes, reindeer on the sideboard, now I've looked closer.

That's very cool. I wanted something similar but in the end bought a modern as it was inch-perfect (8'). Not a very good pic. https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/processpost.as...





(no, don't really do TV)

A couple from a local artist.





Does this count? 1970s E German Pragotron clock (43cm)

Not sure if photographs taken by myself and printed to canvas strictly counts as art...

Currently have these 3 hanging in my 'office' in our new house:








Thinking about getting these 2 printed for one of the bathrooms too:

Love that clock - where did you find it (if you don't mind me asking) - assume it's battery powered?

Love the top one, don’t get me wrong they’re all good, but that top one I would pay for.

Thanks. Yes, battery though I have seen some with the original electrics. This one came from Germany via eBay but I note postage costs have risen recently. There's a few sellers on eBay. Search Pagotron, mid century, Bauhaus etc

This seller is UK based and prices work out about the same as p&p is included. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/londontimepiececlocks/m...

Cheers - it's a glass of limeade shot from above with the flash on.

Like the clock too - reminds me of the Mondaine (I think) railway clocks.

This is one of my favourites
Etching from 1784 called Courtship, by prolific Edinburgh print artist John Kay. It is very tender. Said to have been made as a kind of humorous love gift to his second wife.

Here is another Water Lily.... painted by a neighbour, retired art teacher he is in his 80s now and the previous lily painting was done through lockdown, and the one above was painted in the 1980s .
I do like this at all, so much texture to it.

Looks like oil on water with a green background to me.
Could stare at it for hours seeing different things. It’s one of things where if i owned it i would prefer to never know what it actually is of.

I have a very similar clock to that. The stripe at the bottom is shadow from a lamp below I add.
I wanted something that looked a bit like a bus/train station to go with the bus blinds I have on the wall in that room and this was the best I found.

It was something daft like a tenner in the Argos sale at the time.
