Jumpers For Goalposts by Bob Barker

Summer 2013 sees this lovingly painted new limited edition by the talented Bob Barker. This canvas has the feel of nostalgia and a northern theme to it, with the cobbled streets that sit between rows of non-descript grey houses that go on for what seems like forever. The children playing football with their coloured jumpers and 'jumpers for goalposts' are the most colourful aspect of the painting, highlighting the humanity of those that live in these towns. The brighter light billowing down from the distance represents the hopes and dreams of a brighter tomorrow for this new generation.
