ABOUT THE ARTWORK
2021
Watercolour

I had been walking along Collins Street in Melbourne, Australia, and noticed an old gentleman peering into the window of Kay Craddock's Antiquarian Bookshop. I just managed to take his photo before he went on his way. Even though it a recent scene that I have captured, it has that "golden age" or "classic" feel about it - harkening back to the times when people dressed up for an outing into the city and this part of Collins Street was considered the "Paris-end" of the street. The original artwork now hangs in the bookshop on Collins Street.
This image will print best on Hahnemühle German Etching paper.

Most of my original artworks are available in archival quality print form and are printed using the giclée process by ACME et al in Steels Creek, Victoria. Each stage of the printing process is carefully overseen by James, the printer (with nearly three decades of industry experience), to ensure the highest quality product. These prints are made to last for decades with minimal fading and are printed on high-end, sturdy papers.
Because the prints are made on demand and printed individually rather being mass-produced, please allow between two to three weeks for processing and delivery of your order (or a little longer for customers outside of Australia).
Please note that framing is not included with print purchases.
