With just a fortnight to go before the opening of her third solo exhibition at Great Yarmouth Library, Norfolk artist Jane Hall is busy putting the finishing touches to her new 'Postcards From Great Yarmouth' series of artworks. These seaside postcard-size paintings of Great Yarmouth street scenes and mounments - each painted on a tiny 5x7-inch canvas - capture a mix of well-known and obscure local landmarks. Among the more familiar subjects are Britannia Pier, St. Nicholas Church and the Fisherman's Cottages, but less obvious subjects include the launderette on King Street, Best London Kebabs on Nelson Road and the petrol station at Asda.

 

Jane explains: "I am always on the look-out for interesting subjects to paint when I wander round town; and often it's the more obscure subjects that excite me the most. I think it's important to see the artistic merit in run-down buildings, everyday shops like convenience stores and simple things like launderettes. At the right time of night with the light coming from the right angle, these places can look quite spectacular and haunting, which is something I've tried to capture in the night-time scenes I've been working on."

 

Jane's 'Postcards From Great Yarmouth' pictures will be shown alongside her familiar ice cream and fruit machines painting at Great Yarmouth Library from 11th - 22 February 2014. The exhibition is open to the public every day except Sunday, with a full list of opening hours available at www.jane-hall.co.uk.
