This is an exclusive signed print taken from an original painting of the ‘Second on the Bill’ by the famous Sheffield artist Joe Scarborough, his Sheffield artwork takes inspiration from the daily life and architecture in and around Sheffield.
31 years ago Joe was looking for a special piece of jewellery for his lovely wife. Browsing in a local jeweller owned by a man, known to his family and friends as Rusty, Joe asked “How much is this piece my good man? “
“£175 and I’m doing you a favour at that price,” Rusty replied. A king's ransom in those days.
“Let me think about it,” Joe said, clearing his throat and beating a hasty retreat. Two weeks later Rusty saw Joe again in a local art shop carrying his latest painting that he wanted the gallery to sell.
“That’s nice” Rusty enthused admiring the still wet canvas, “How much do you want for it?”
“Do you still have that piece of jewellery I was looking at?” Enquired Joe.
“Yes, I do.?”
“Then the price of the painting is £175 and I’m doing you a favour at that price”
Hands were shaken, the deal was done and a friendship made.
