This is Surrey Chambers, on the corner of St Geoprges Terrace and Howard Street. Another one of Perth’s beautiful lost buildings, though I think this one was significantly damaged in the Meckering earthquake. My second Perth Heritage painting, this time in (digital) pencil and wash. Based on a photograph that showed the building not long after completion.
I’ve been experimenting with repeating patterns again. This one tries to combine an Australian theme with the style of William Morris. I think this tis getting closer to a Morris like style than earlier attempts…
The Triang/Triang-Hornby/Hornby “Switcher” was one of the generic overseas models included in their OO gauge model range. At various times it appeared in Australian liveries, Canadian liveries and generic overseas ones, including the eponymous Triang Railways. I like to portray these fictitious models as if they were real world rolling stock. This project isa broad selection of the different switcher models produced over the years given a real-world look.
Digital Pencil and chalk sketch of the Star and Garter hotel in Victoria Street, Wolverhampton. Sadly, the building disappeared well before I was ever there, so this is based on selection of photographs. Yet another the many architectural gems that succumbed in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
Another of my “Triang imagined as real” paintings. This time it’s the Transcontinental Switcher, inspired particularly by Stephen Jack’s recent post.
