Ice Cream Shop

Mixed Media on Canvas.

Ice Cream Shop was on Boundary Road in Portslade. It doesn't exist any more but I am told that it sold only vanilla ice cream but it was the best ice cream you would ever have tasted. The owner would very slowly put a scoop into a paper bag which he would then fold over and staple closed - and the queues ran all the way down the street. I painted this using a local man's old photo's - I promised him a print of it when it was finished in exchange for the use of his picture.

This relief art canvas was created by Georgina Smith in her studio in Brighton . Each artwork is built up of multiple layers of card, cut to create a 3D image, which is then drawn and painted. Her paintings centre on familiar buildings found in Brighton, with a focus on those that have a sense of faded seaside charm.
