Artist sells paintings to be used on postcards

From the Maitland Mercury report:
Vacy artist John Bradley has sold most of a series of his work that depicts life in Morpeth during the 1830s. Each painting depicts an iconic sight at Morpeth during the 1830s, including the town’s old cinema, Queens Wharf, Campbells General Store and the main street. Mr Bradley used original photographs to paint his pieces, but brought them to life with colour and character using oil paints.
