Day's end: Flamin Nosh

small town oil painting street road restaurant night lights nocturne



Oil on hardboard 8" x 8"

Flamin Nosh is a pizza restaurant close by to where I live. We once went as a whole family to celebrate a special birthday and the kids were allowed to create their own pizzas and see them put into the ovens. It always looks great at night because the banners are orange and look really good lit up.

Day's end: Waterloo Road

I have painted Waterloo Road before - this building - but it was called Daybreak, so dawn rather than dusk (to check it out it's the posting of November 21st 2007). I like this building. It's now housing the police but I'm not sure what it was originally built for.

Day's end : across the valley

Quite a romantic view - an old mill chimney highlighted against the setting sun. That's the 'Bridge for you (although the chimney is probably in Dukinfield or Ashton looking at the distances). We are nothing if not exploitative.

I have a little series of sun-sets. The same sun setting over Stalybridge as sets over Los Angeles, Dar es Salaam, Paris and so on - just add your own place to the list. Here the sun's setting behind us and lighting up the advertising hoarding on the wall there (which incidentally is for Sainsbury's bank - I went and had a look last night).
