My painting captures a scene at the Murray Street Mall in Forrest Place in Perth, with a historical Renaissance-style building encircled by tall skyscrapers. The building has been renovated and urbanised, the bottom floor transformed into a café while the upper half remains untouched. The limestone and peeling plaster from the walls starkly juxtaposes with the contemporary, modern skyscrapers and, accompanied with the flourishing tree in the foreground, creates a scene of regrowth and progression.
