Description
A watercolour painting I did of Southport's Lord Street Wayfarers Arcade, I did this in the 1980's when it was a thriving shopping coastal town...I painted this whilst sat on the opposite side of the road with difficulty due to traffic I finished it at home after taking a photo of the scene there are lovely Victorian buildings on Lord Street and this is a fine example, things have changed since the 1980's the shops are different the facade is green now rather than red and the young tree is a mature tree this now has become part of the nostalgia of Southport; only available in the smaller sizes and greeting cards now due to print quality and resolutions. Looks great as a festive greeting too Ive now placed it alongside my festive greetings collection of Wayfarer's Arcade
