Old Books

This Collection features features my watercolour painting 'Old Books' which I completed in late 2021. 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.
