I didn’t want to post just an ordinary clichéd view of a view this week.
So I looked around the house and decided to take a photo of this original watercolour by Canadian painter Anthony Batten.
I like the tropical “view” it portrays as well as the architectural features of this artist’s view of this scene.
Mr. Batten painted the scene in 1979 and gave it as a gift to a friend of my housemate Kenneth. It’s been hanging in Kenneth’s place and now my house for almost thirty years now.
In 1979, Mr. Batten was just at the start of his artistic career. He’s since gone on to become a well renowned watercolourist and painter.

I’m searching for a painting for a wall in my new pad. That’s quite neat too!

It’s quite a beautiful painting! I love the scene/views. Now my question is where do you think that was painted, or the city it inspired him to paint?

A good idea for the theme. Art is original in that each time one views it, there is something else to see.
