Title or Location: The Old Fire station
I have always loved the fire station on salford cresant and was over the moon to see this building, designed by H. Kirkly amd opened in 1903, renovated and renewed as a cafe/ bakery/ microbrewery. My art style caricaturises the subject building, warping and taking liberies with perspective but always keeping the essence that make it such a bueatiful and iconic Salford landmark.

I painted this one for a watercolour weekly challenge on FB where the subject was fish. My goldfish is looking up towards daylight. I spattered clean water on damp paint to give the impression of light dispersion in shallow water. I like the effect of clean water pushing paint away to add interest and light.

This A3 watercolor was done as a commission for a Texas based charity called Leave it for the Pooch. They approached me in 2021 and asked if I would like to donate some of my work for their yearly raffle that raises money for animal rescue. I was very happy to be a part of this and for the last 4 years have done a special piece just for this auction and send to Texas as my contribution for this cause. "Loving Lessons" is this years painting. My daughter has always had a special bond with
