I like the idea of a painting of a painting.
We were out in the Northern Quarter researching the new Manchester Pub book and stopped to marvel at the sheer size of the image on the gable end.
And as you do we swapped stories of other such “street paintings” with two chaps working for Vodafone.
They had just come across a new one round the corner and off Peter went to look.
Now as everyone knows he is the artist and so I was not surprised when yesterday he sent over his painting of two of those paintings.
All four of us pondered on who was responsible for the originals and who had commissioned them, and the effort which had gone into heir production.
At which point I am very confident that someone will know and quick as a flash will come up with the name, the art funded project and a list of all the others across the Northern Quarter.
We shall see.
