Battersea Power Station Painting
Battersea and Chelsea combined. Being from Manchester, I had no idea how close Battersea Power station was to Chelsea Bridge. In my mind the two have very different images. One a clean, flash symbol of luxury life and the other with the daily grind of the power plant. True Battersea Power station was decommissioned in

A trip to Chelsea Bridge – Wednesday’s Work in Progress –
Fancy a trip on the Thames? This week’s work in progress is something I’ve been longing to do for some time. Battersea Power station! Although it’s a bit hard to see tucked away on the far bank across from Chelsea Bridge. It was as close as I could get on the day, but I will

I’ll be setting up for the Perspectives on an English Landscape on

New work – the completed experiment
So, on Wednesday I shared an experimental work in progress. Here’s the result. The verdict is… I don’t like it! Visually I like the effect but I found the surface very fragile and I’ve had the familiar drying problem. Cleaning up resulting in ink smudges as well as scratches where I’ve tried to remove the

New work, Naff Title? Pigeon Crossing the Thames
Here’s the finished pigeon painting. I still think I need to work on the title. Everything I can think of sounds cheesy except for ‘Crossing the Thames’. I’m pleased how he gets lost in the river Thames. Like an ornithologist’s version of “Where’s Wally?” .Spot the Pigeon. You can see more London paintings with much
