Industrial Landscapes in Stoke-on-Trent
Initial inspiration: I live in the Stoke-on-Trent area. I am amazed about the history of the area and the particular kind of beauty of the industrial landscape. There are plenty of industrial sites and canals from the industrial revolution. I cycle usually and that allow me to go around the canals. Every time I need to go to the Stoke-on-Train train station I will pass Penkhull. it is very curious that they keep two kilns by the canal.

Working out the interpretation and final results: Initially I was thinking to do something based on Van Gogh particular style but applied to the pottery landscape. This is the final painting.
