It's been quite a while since I last posted on here ; put it down to working hard on the last part of my MA course , or sheer laziness.............
whatever.
Anyway , to return . Having relocated the entire family up to Manchester in 1980 and starting a new career / partnership in the area , one of the first projects I remember working on was Paddy's Goose , a city centre pub on Bloom Street at the back of Chorlton street bus station. seems a lifetime ago ..............
More recently I have been working pretty much next door at Richmond House on Bloom Street , both on the design of the Richmond Street Tea Rooms and - more figuratively - on The House Of The Book Lover , a source for a number of works on my MA course , so I pass Paddy's Goose quite regularly.....
And here it is again...........
...... this time the subject of a painting by Anne Aspinall , someone I know quite well as one of the artists running the Longden Gallery in Macclesfield.. It had never occurred to me that it might be a nice exterior to paint , but here it is in all its' glory............
Check out Anne's work and the rest of the artists at the Longden Gallery at www.longdengallery.co.uk.........
and I should be back on here shortly with my final MA work and news of an exhibition........
