Paignton - The Old Post Office.

Paignton's high street faces the economic challenges common to many towns, with vacant shops, supermarkets, charity outlets, and betting parlours dominating the scene. However, amidst this, the Victorian terraces stand out with their intricate corbels and bay windows, reflecting an era of careful craftsmanship.
While some modern retail buildings disrupt the historic charm, these contrasts highlight the importance of preserving areas like Palace Avenue. During this plein air session, I chose to paint the old post office on a sunlit street corner, drawn by the rich colors and details that made this piece a joy to create.
