Aberdeen: garages and workshops: the end of Phase One

 *

Garages, Old Ford Road, oil on card, 12.9 x 14.5 cm - available




Workshops, Old Ford Road, oil on card, 15 x 12.5 cm - available



This unspectacular basic industrial and commercial architecture of garages and tiny workshops is very pleasing and I`m delighted to have discovered it. It almost feels like a lost world.

This brings me to the end of phase one: a black and white survey of places to paint in Aberdeen. 

Next is phase two: revisiting in colour and probably larger supports.
