An oil painting based on sketches done in Manchester on days out with the Manchester Urban Sketchers. It is based on an area behind the Hotspur Press building and Deansgate station. It reflects the continuing construction and growth of the city and is counterpoint to some of my other artworks which reflect the history and urban decay of the city.
My painting of the Hotspur Press building – very topical as the building has recently made the news by burning down in a major fire – and we now know exactly how long Hotspur had.
