Charles Spencelayh born 1865 in Kent, England. Died in 1958.
In his later years he concentrated on pictures that captured the humor, pain, diminishing eyesight and other facts of aging. Who has not endured the humiliation of not being able to read the printing on the label of a medicine bottle?
He has an enormous "catalog".

| 20% alcohol. Maybe it won't fix my problem but maybe I don't care |

| Apprentice at a cobbler's shop. I guess him to be between 12 and 14 years-old. |

| Painted in 1914 |

| Maybe a life-long bachelor? |

The last two paintings at the bottom to me point to a lifelong bachelor. No sign of any worry that spouse will come along and nag about the condition of the home space. No - he seems quite content.
ReplyDeleteLast pic has too much bric-a-brac for a bachelor....live plant in the silly!

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, and yet another artist I did not know about. Thanks, ERJ.
