This second painting by Gerald Cains is a smaller work, and very poignant (click on picture to enlarge).  Again it is Barton Hill before the flats were built.  The roundabout in the park is broken and useless, with disappointed people walking away from it.  Although we know it is Bristol, you don’t need to know that, and it has a universal appeal.

The two Cains pictures were purchased together for £2000, which The Friends paid in full.

The above photo shows the artist alongside his painting, now on display in the Modern British Gallery. The photo was taken at the Special Viewing for members on 1 December 2010
