The Ossington Coffee Palace, Newark-on-Trent

Posted on 22 December, 2020 by Susan Isaac

Earlier today, I was happy to deliver my painting of ‘The Ossington Coffee Palace, Newark-on-Trent’ into the hands of its new owners.

This beautiful grade II* listed Victorian building is a significant landmark on the edge of the town centre, opposite Newark Castle. I loved the perspective from this side with a variety of Tudorbethan detailing and sweep of foreground railings curving around and in toward the main building.

I am featured in the current Made lifestyle magazine (Mar-Apr edition) - about my work as a painter and sculptor. Very grateful to 'The Team' at @madeinn_ for including me.

This Oxford painting was also sold for me (some years ago) by the @wrengallery in Burford ... 'Tom Tower of Christ Church College, from Pembroke Square'

And another of my Oxford paintings (from 2014-15) that sold at @claremontart (and again there are prints on my Etsy shop).

Here is another of my Oxford paintings from 2012-13 - as I wrote at the time, "I had been searching for a way to paint Magdalen College ever since I arrived in Oxford, but the busy and wide road in front of the main facade didn't make me feel very optimistic I would find a composition that worked for me. I found my view point unexpectedly as I was walking up the main road towards Magdalen Tower one late afternoon in winter. The tall gatepost terminating a run of low walling suddenly presented itself as a counterpoint to the upright of the Tower and a third dark upright in the form of a tree."

Looking again at my early Oxford paintings is instilling a sense of nostalgia for early visits. This work, from 2012, was my first impression of Oxford - the first point of entering into the city. I was interested in the concept of bridges transposing one’s perceived experience from the ordinary to the otherworldliness of Oxford. The repetition of urn-like parapet supports leads the viewer to a Narnia-like streetlamp under a veil of bared branches drawn through the sky, with Magdalen Tower only faintly seen in the background, hinting at what is to come.
