Original artwork description:

On a walk in London, aimless and free, I noticed this building on a corner, and I was struck by its brick design; 1, 2, 3. The building itself drew me further, and I admired the variety of bricks, different colours being used to create patterns, as the bricks, unlike paint, wouldn’t vanish under a veil of soot. Above me, the sky was ever changing, clouds travelling rapidly through the cool air. Yet here, nothing much had changed for a century and more. The work is rich in colour, suffused with terracotta and autumnal atmosphere, with realism and fluidity. A great souvenir of London, a lovely addition to any collection, and a perfect gift.
Texture has been added to create extra depth. The canvas is 0.5 inches deep and can therefore hang without a frame if wished.
