This print of a watercolour that was painted from memories of John growing up in Usworth Washington, County Durham. It shows John’s dad cutting fellow coal miner’s hair with others lined up at John’s dad’s pigeon cree (Loft). This activity was a regular feature when John was a lad. His dad could turn his hand to all sorts of things.
John is a Nottingham-based artist, with roots in the North East, and is known for his evocative works that delve into social history
