Original artwork description:

A special place, laden with memory. I remember coming here as a child, peeking at the marble counters, at the macabre dead fish, their eyes glazed, silent and still. Scottish voices, banter and jokes, packages of brown paper, the smell of fish. Later my mother would cook the orange-coloured fish in milk, served with a poached egg. Little has changed, the floors, the walls, a link to my past. I was struck by the light too, the way it bounced off the wall, angular, cheering. This striking work is a perfect addition to any collection and a lovely gift too.

Texture has been added to create extra depth. The canvas is 0.5 inches deep and can therefore hang without a frame if wished.

Materials used:

acrylic and card
