Watercolour Art of JPA Gittens - 5
Quartet of Postcard Views
This quartet - or double diptych - consists of watercolour-tinted, pencil-drawn copies of postcards which resided in a family heirloom, a wall-mounted, mahogany hat-rack and mirror.
The tinting resembles the original 1930s hand-tinted black and white photocards.
#18b. "Wharf, Bridgetown". The wharf predates the 1961 man-made deep water harbour half-a-mile away.
#18a. "By the schooners" - Pencil & wash - 2000 - Schooners are inter-island trading vessels.
#18d. "Hotel Royal on Sea". Seaside hotel, Hastings Rocks. Scene is unchanged; the hotel is gone.
#18c. "Aquatic Club". This wooden structure on stilts still exists. Now a restaurant.
