Description
Original painting “Towards the Old Workhouse, Market Hill, Maldon” shows the steep Market Hill towards Fullbridge. One the way down is the Old Workhouse an 18th Century timber framed building which served the poor of Maldon and the surrounding area. I can only imagine the many stories this building has experienced. The workhouse was a source of much fear by those who were poor as once inside conditions were harsh and families separated. Now it is divided into several town houses and apartments.
This is part of my growing catalogue of original paintings depicting my new(ish) home and forms part of my first exhibition of ten new original paintings. It is my first response of my experience exploring the locale over the last few years. Maldon is a such lovely town with many places of interest making it a really lovely day out from the history of the ancient buildings to beauty of the countryside – unique to this part of Essex.

Original Painting “Towards the Old Workhouse, Market Hill, Maldon” has been created using acrylics on deep edged canvas. Most people choose to hang my work without a frame so you can see the process where I have laid the canvas on the floor and dripped, spilled, and thrown the paint. Tray frames are recommended should you wish have this framed. I can arrange this for you.
