      • 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.

      • Double Ended Diesel

        Posted at 1:59 pm by gatf, on October 19, 2020

        The Triang ‘Transcontinental’ double-ended diesel was a classic loco in their toy train range from the 50’s until the 70’s. Here it is imagined in a range of liveries.

        Reimagining my ‘Triang’ Baltic Tank in a range of fictitious liveries, with a few other detailed changes. The joy of digital painting…
