A landscape oriented image taken from the top of an open top tour bus in Liverpool. It’s a street scene but prominent in the image a large house with a mural of a bird painted on the side. It is the work of John Culshaw. The bird is apparently the artist’s take on the Liver Birds.

This morning's painting session took me on a quick trip to the 16th century for No. 12 in my Plymouth Miniatures series, The Merchant's House.
