Harold Jevons, Hairdresser - a photo on Flickriver

Harold Jevons, Hairdresser

             This is my painting of Harold Jevons Barbers shop set in 1963. It is painted from a black and white picture I took. The building was one of the last standing in this area and within a few months it too was demolished.
Obviously as the original was monochrome I have imagined the colours except for the Ford Consul which was beige. The original was also taken in daytime therefore this had to be converted into an evening scene. The shop adverts and street names are accurate and the shop had blank fascia's.
The picture took a year to paint but that includes long breaks from it. The intention was to submit it to the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, Friends exhibition but it was not chosen, however another, older, painting is on the exhibition wall  so I'm not complaining.
