I painted this in #Shoreditch #London a while ago. I really liked the brick wall and the taxi rank. A fella stopped and stared art me for ages. I don’t know why, but I added him anyway.

A #Drawing of The Trafalgar Tavern in #Greenwich, #London. It was familiar to novelist Charles Dickens, who used it as the setting for the wedding breakfast in Our Mutual Friend.

In recent months, I was commissioned to paint a house in #Wimbledon, #London. An interesting aspect of this project was that the client asked me to depict the house as it would have appeared in the late 19th century, when it was first built.

A Sunday morning In Eastney, Portsmouth. It is the view from Ferry Road to Lock Lake with a fella and his Jack Russell dog. it stretched on his lead to partake in the rarefied feast of an abandoned KFC box. He never did quite make it.

Sheep on a hillside in winter. How do they cope with all that cold weather? They seem happy enough, however. A #watercolour in Pylle, #Somerset and is a view from my cycle route.

An oil painting of Knick Knacks Antiques Emporium in Sutton on Sea, Lincolnshire. While I worked on the initial drawings for this they lent me a Victorian chair to sit on. Very kind.

As we have a bit of #snow about here in the UK, I thought I would post something appropriate. Here is a snow scene produced as a commission in December last year.

One part of a two part commission to paint Maunsel Street in Westminster, London. You can see The Victoria Tower of The Houses of Parliament peering (no pun) over the top of apartments in the background.

One of four paintings commissioned by Siemens of The Crystal in the London Docklands.
All blue glass, and not a single parallel line on the whole structure made them rather difficult.

#Spitalfields Market, East #London originated in a field next to the 12th-century St Mary Spittel priory, gaining a royal charter in 1682 to operate on Thursdays and Saturdays. Here it is in the 1930’s. Today it is for the tourists.
