      • Star and Garter

        Posted at 8:41 am by gatf, on January 25, 2021

        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.

      • Moir’s Chambers, Perth

        Posted at 2:57 pm by gatf, on December 6, 2020

        Just finished this painting. It is my attempt at a looser, more impressionist style city scene. This is Moir’s (later T&G) chambers on the corner of St George’s Terrace and Barrack Street, Perth, Western Australia, as it looked in the 1950’s.

        Sadly, a building which was regarded as one of the finest in Perth was demolished in 1960, in the face of much protest, to make way for another unappealing concrete office block.

        I had a lot of fun doing this and think I managed to stay true to my idea of painting with less precise detail.
