Tracks on Canvas - The Railway Paintings of Philip D.Hawkins is the first new,and successful title to be published by Ian Allan Publishing, when it acquired the OPC imprint in 1998.In this book,Philip Hawkings [FGRA - Fellow of the Guild of Railway Artists] explores his fascination with railways and their influence upon his art.Narrating his childhood in the West Midlands of the 1950's, when steam still held sway,the author's nostalgia for that long-departed era will have a redolence for all those who recall the period with pleasure.Progressing through the era when steam was replaced with diesel,the author describes the route by which he became a full-time artist.Illustrated with more than 50 full-colour plates along with numerous preliminary studies,sketches and photographs - all on glossy paper,the book is a glorious tribute to the artist and his work.Each of the major works portrayed is accompanied by a fascinating description of the subject matter. Having recently stood down as the President of the Guild of Railway Artists,Philip Hawkins has been made an Honorary Fellow of the Guild -only the third individual to be so honoured, following the late Terence Cuneo and David Shepherd.For all lovers of railways and railway
art,'Tracks on Canvas' is a superb portrait of an artist and his work.
