Bondgate Gallery

Newcastle Tyne Bridge turned 90 yesterday. Here are three of Eric’s paintings showing this iconic feat of engineering.

Wow! Can't wait, tickets booked :)

This will be so worth going to see, the photos I’ve seen so far from inside look absolutely fabulous 👌🏻

A lovely recommendation for my fine art printing service 😊

Just framed this beauty! Provence, watercolour wash with the details picked out using pen and ink. I’ve used a white mount and frame to let the colours speak for themselves.

Amazing achievement. Well done to all those involved

Re-hanging the Original Paintings wall 😊

I’ve been restocking the miniatures. These little fine art prints are just £5 each (unframed) and make great souvenirs and gifts 😊

Mallard in York Station - the original has arrived at the gallery and awaiting a frame - I'll have it hung on the display wall by Thursday afternoon :) https://www.ukwatercolours.com/…/mallar d-in-garter-blue-li…/

Twiggy, an icon of the 60's - taking us from black and white into full glorious technicolour :) https://www.ukwatercolours.com/painting/t wiggy/ #twiggy #60s #technicolour #1960s

Just finished yesterday, the paint was barely dry before I grabbed it for the Gallery Wall - the stunning 'Autumn Waterfall' https://www.ukwatercolours.com/painting/a utumn-waterfall/

The original has sold, however, I've just loaded the one and only Big O, Roy Orbison onto our website for giclée prints :) https://www.ukwatercolours.com/painting/r oy-orbison/

Just sold Roy Orbison, gone to a good home I think.

Would like to thank Eric for the painting of our allotment, we are over the moon with it. Everyone has commented that it is fab. Thanks for your help as well Lynn . Ted and Karen.

Top service, very helpful and great printing/framing…thanks Lynn, will be back.

Thankyou Eric for all your help with my artwork yesterday, really appreciated!! Great service! Lovely shop and amazing artwork in there! looking forward to happy days ahead �

Recently framed and mounted my Tom McGuinness print "The Nature Trail Murton". Excellent job and great value for money. Eric Thompson is a very talented artist and the shop is well worth a visit :)

Recently brought in several pieces for framing. Received all the assistance I needed to choose the correct frames and mounts and the end result could not have been better in term of choice, price and quality of work. A first class service in every way and my go to choice for all future work. Couldn't recommend more highly. Lots of great art for sale too!

Passed by this gem of a place by chance. There are some wonderful paintings of local places - definitely recommend a visit.

My mam still loves and enjoys the picture eric painted of her beloved westie sam about 12 years ago. Would recommend his work to everyone

My birthday present of our GSP Harvey painted in watercolours by Eric is gorgeous, can't thank you enough for the attention to detail, I love it and was a lovely surprise, thank you.

Lynn offers a great service and is very good with tips and advice. This is my one stop shop for all my printing needs

I picked a selection of framed prints up, they are excellent, thanks as always excellent service
