Railway Scene at Llangollen Station (painting)
General view of Llangollen railway station showing a steam locomotive leaving the station. Signed 'PETRIE' at bottom left. Undated. Stuck onto modern card.
Note from Mrs Kate Petrie, wife of the artist - Llangollen Railway Station. Our connection as a family came about when Jim met a fellow artist in the 1960s working in an art studio in Liverpool - namely Brian Entwistle. It was in the days before he moved with his family to Anglesey to be near the sailing ships he loved painting for a living as well as the sailing. Jim and Brian were both steam fanatics and it was through Brian that Jim was asked to portray steam at Llangollen Station for the National Museum.
