It seems to be a tough time at present in the retail trade, the COVID pandemic saw the demise of many well known shops that had served our towns for decades. Following that has come the loss of business for shops due to the internet. Many have got used to buying from home at the click of a button. Where will it all end? Will we see the end of shopping, or will the high streets of our towns once more thrive with crowds out shopping? I hope all will return. The shops bring people together and they make the town centres alive.
I for one would like to see our high streets busy again, if for no other reason than for me to wander in on the lookout for new painting subjects. Over the long years I have found inspiration in plenty, and have recorded a little of my wanderings in my painting subjects, as will be seen in this new online exhibition.
