The Ghostly Shop of New Aquitania Mug

Do shops have souls? And what happens to the soul of a shop once its doors close for the last time? For a shop does not simply die, it lives on in the minds of those who once shopped there, who worked there, who created it, stocked it, cleaned it and loved it. A closed shop can provoke a fleeting sensation of grief, the end of an era, the end of a connection, a place once shared and now vanished. I saw this closed shop, and felt its energy, its soul, as decay began to wash out its once vibrant colour. I wanted it to live a little longer in paint, the lost ghostly shop of New Aquitania. The work is rich in color, in vibrancy and in detail. A perfect addition to any collection, a wonderful souvenir of France.
