A christmas show at panter and hall Posted Sunday, 21st of November

When I plan my paintings of the gardens, allotments and such I often do small studies for reference. Secondly i have begun to collect those dreadful discarded ornaments that are found in charity shops. I suspect these are just picked up in house clearances and handed to the shops en masse. They all have a story to tell I am sure and i rather like them.

Anyway I put the two together and painted a few still lives. These whimsies have been spotted by those nice people at Panter and Hall and they have requested five for their Christmas show. So here they are. Do pop along if you are in the area.

the whitechapel road Posted Tuesday, 31st of August

This is the Whitechapel Road in East London. I have painted this scene a number of times and i am still drawn to it. A street like this will at first site appear static, unchanging. Though on closer observation you notice it is in constant flux, some changes are subtle, some obvious. There is however [...]
