Original artwork description:

This painting depicts a small hotel in Kings Cross, London, with a vivid green facade, spanning two floors. The ground level features two windows and a central doorway beneath a green awning, while the upper floor presents two windows with black railings and purple flower boxes. Additional flowers are positioned along the lower windows and the front railing, introducing color and softness to the stark urban geometry.
I painted this view in a realist style, emphasizing form and surface detail within a modest urban setting. The brushwork is direct and tactile, with color used sparingly to highlight the contrast between the facade and the surrounding street. The palette is grounded in painted masonry and floral accents, treated with clarity and without embellishment, to capture the quiet charm and character of the location.
Texture has been added to create extra depth. The canvas is 0.5 inches deep and can therefore hang without a frame if wished.

Materials used:

cotton and wood canvas, acrylic paint, paper/card, glue, clear varnish gloss
