Paddington, London Posters and Art Prints

I loved the contrasts and shades, the lime green, faded, retro, pistachio pudding, cream and custard, pealing, layers of memories and decades past. There is a sadness to Paddington. Perhaps it reminds me of childhood tales of abandoned bears, a memory of a never to return family holiday to Cornwall, sitting in a first class dining car with silver coffee pots and an English breakfast. Memories of a lonely and confusing first year at college, taking a late train back to a depressing suburb. Victorian buildings, hospital wards with broken windows and dirt encrusted window sills. A little corner of London. And yet the sky is blue, hot and bright. The windows reflecting blue, shadows gathering in the street below.
