Thoughts of a Watercolour Artist
Brian D. Powell is an artist and original founding member of "The Three Brusketeers." Along the way ... Brian also happened to revolutionise the search and rescue industry. As a fire officer, designer, thinker and inventor he is directly responsible for some of the most profound health & safety advances the western world has seen. Brian Powell is not your average everyday inventive genius, he is simply one step ahead as a creative thinker, more than that, Brian is a man who understands the importance of acting to implement change. In addition to a distinguished career saving lives, Brian helped to raise a family. He then took time to see a bit of the world, recording those memories through his art and recording these in a 124-page full-colour booklet, available now, direct from the publisher.

<strong>Thoughts</strong> <strong>of</strong> a <strong>Watercolour</strong> <strong>Artist</strong><br />
1967<br />
“POWELL! You're on ropes …”<br />
Crag-fast sheep rescued...<br />
200 foot up and tangled in gorse.<br />
“Powell lowered both the RSPCA Inspector, Ted Wood<br />
together with the stranded sheep to safety.”<br />
Senior RSPCA Inspector Arthur Baldock, ably<br />
accompanied by a policeman, a fireman, farmer and an<br />
assistant Scout Master(!) teamed-up to successfully<br />
rescue two hopelessly crag-fast sheep high up on<br />
Melbreak in Loweswater.<br />
The two animals had been missing for around two<br />
weeks before being spotted through glasses some way<br />
up the crags, one more than 200 feet above the other.<br />
'It was quite an exhausting job.'<br />
Using rock climbing techniques the team anchored<br />
Sub-Officer Brian Powell at<br />
base and made the rescue in a<br />
little over three and a half<br />
gruelling hours.<br />
The sheep on the higher ledge was so weak it could not stand, and with<br />
the other animal being the stronger, Inspector Baldock was afraid it would<br />
panic and topple over the narrow ledge and onto the rocks below.<br />
We're all relieved we saved them. 'It was quite an exhausting job.'<br />
