THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE _ ED 1/50. 2020 OCT.
A commission.
Old Queenslanders. Gaunt St Newmarket. Brisbane AUS.

In this work the commissioner was especially interested in her house as part of the streetscape which included the house on the left which had been undergoing renovation work for some time by an owner/builder. The street is divided in the middle into upper and lower streets with pink porphyry stone retaining walls. The view is drawn standing in the lower street looking up. The houses have been pulled together somewhat in order to get all three in the view. I visited the site several times over a couple of months during which time the palms came into flower and fruit. To get the streetscape detail right I included the number on the power pole.

The grey linework was originally drawn in blue [last image] but I converted the linework in photoshop. The grey linework version was chosen as the final artwork to better suit the interior of the house.
