Here is more progress on the Belfast's past series of the Belfast Post Office square back in the 1900. This is where I left it yesterday. I have worked more on it today, but didn't get an updated photo. It will mostly show the foliage on the trees to the right, when I do get that photo.
This is the little boy that is sitting to the left of the painting. He's in a wooden wagon with wobbly wheels. So cute, waiting for his mom.
This image shows the flag, billowing in the breeze. I'm thinking the way the trees are starting to leave out and the road is washed out, that this was in the Spring.
You can also see the detail that went into the upper deck and window panes and the brick work.
This close up reveals the women going into the post office, the steps and the post office box on the left of the building/painting.
This close up reveals a horse and buggy behind the old car, which at the time...was probably new! The road is Main Street, heading back up away from the ocean and harbor. There is a man near the horse, maybe the horse is his, or he's heading back up town. The traffic dummy has the words: SLOW KEEP RIGHT written on each side of it, for traffic flow. Your eyes aren't going wonky on you, that dummy is leaning a bit. Being spring a frost heave in the dirt road has lifted it. I'm sure it settled back down as things thawed and summer was back.
There is a lot going on in this painting and it is very fun to paint. I sure don't get bored on this one. But my eyes do catch eye strain and my hands get a bit lame. Well worth it though.
Thank you for following along on this one, I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am.
