The Vale of Rheidol Railway 1905 (painting)
Bottomley, Eric (From Guild of Railway Artists - Eric Bottomley was born in Oldham, Lancashire in 1948. He studied art and craft at Oldham School of Art, leaving in 1964 to work in Manchester as a commercial artist.
In 1974 he moved to Dorset, continuing as a freelance artist/illustrator which enabled him to devote more time to oil painting. Two years later he took up fine art full time.
Eric's subjects are mostly of a nostalgic nature, depicting the age of steam railways; vintage transport; the Victorian and Edwardian era.
He became a member of the Guild of Railway Artists in 1979.
Eric now lives and works in Much Marcle, Herefordshire.)
