The Aulde Dubliner & Pour House

Pen and Ink with watercolour washes on Canvas 36" x 36" 

The artwork captures a vibrant gathering spot filled with warmth and familiar comfort. The illuminated exterior invites viewers to share in the lively social atmosphere, where light and shadow bring out the rich textures and architectural details. The scene’s floral accents add a tactile, inviting touch, while muted cooler tones balance the vibrant colors, guiding the eye through relaxed gestures and easy conversation.

This portrayal reflects the proprietor Larry Bradley’s deep connection to Irish pub traditions, inspired by his early experiences in Omagh, County Tyrone, and later life in Canada. Larry and his wife Michèle opened the first Heart & Crown in Ottawa’s ByWard Market in 1992, creating a lasting community hub.

The scene conveys a quiet energy and a sense of home—an invitation to appreciate the bonds formed through everyday gatherings.
