Abstraction in a painting of City Hall in London Looking back, it’s possible to see progress that isn’t obvious while you were living through the time. This painting of City Hall in London is one of my early large paintings. Now, I can see how my style has evolved over the years, and with practice. […]

For Saturday Night Live Art Shows, this week, I’m looking at a Natural History Museum painting titled Natural History Graffiti. Inspired while waiting in a queue to visit the museum on a Friday during Half term. It’s well worth a visit, but take my advice. Never visit any London museum during school holidays, if you

Wolfson College, Oxford – River Quad Looking back on this Wolfson River Quad painting. I can see how my paintings have changed. How my art has evolved. This was painted seven years ago. I’d been painting architecture for only a few years. I had fewer colours to choose from. It was all hand drawn. My

The Warship, in this painting of HMS Belfast, looms large on the Thames. Dwarfing the buildings on the South bank. The architecture would be impressive on its own, without the nautical comparison. Even Tower Bridge seems small, as does the minuscule City Hall. It’s a matter of perspective, yes, but also it’s a matter of
