The painting depicts a multi-story building with a sign that reads "Wells Richardson Chartered Accountants". The building feels like something you could see in Eastern Europe during the Cold War. It has a grided tiled façade with several windows and is topped with multiple antenna structures. The scene is set during twilight, with a soft blue sky and some artificial lighting illuminating parts of the building and the surrounding area. The painting captures the 20th century modern architectural details and the urban setting, highlighting the contrast between natural, post-sunset sky, and artificial light.
The character filled building 'Cannon House', now occupied by Wells Richardson a chartered accountants. Living on Rutland Rd, Neepsend, Sheffield, Cannon House used to be the administrative offices for the Cannon Brewery, the home of Stones Bitter from 1868 to 1999. I can't help but think it looks like a not-so-secret base of operations for a team of superheros or supervillains but, that might just be me 🤷♂️
