Newcastle Bluemoon Art Mug

Newcastle Bluemoon Art Mug. 10oz white photo mug with a wraparound panoramic watercolour ‘Splash’ painting of the Newcastle Gateshead Quayside printed on the mug. The painting features the iconic buildings and bridges along the quayside. This includes the Sage Gateshead, Tyne Bridge, Newcastle Castle, Grey’s Monument and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge. The Lantern Tower of St. Nicholas Cathedral, towers above part of St. James’ Park football stadium, that is visible on the reverse side of the mug. A striking cool blue paint design has been used in this painting. With just the odd splash of purple and yellow to brake-up the blueness.

The original watercolour painting is by local artist Louisa E. Taylor and is part of her ‘Splash of Toon‘ range of paintings. Each painting features a unique arrangement and selection of buildings, bridges and landmarks from the Newcastle Gateshead skyline. After deciding on the arrangement of elements, each watercolour painting is created with a completely different colour pallet. The colours that work for one arrangement, so often, just don’t work for a different one. This is often down to the way the buildings and bridges are arranged for the painting. It does make each painting unique and it also makes the whole range of paintings varied and suited to be hung on a wide variety of different colour painted walls. The interesting thing with the ‘Splash of Toon’ mugs, is the fact you get to see different elements depending upon the viewing angle to the mug. It is something that you want to pick up and turn round and enjoy. Just don’t spill your tea or coffee.

These are available as mounted prints and now as sets of wood coasters.
