Meditation on RA Railings Painting
The brown trefoil leaf and iron curls dominate the railings painting. The rest of the features are rough and incomplete. A mix of dark tones wrestle for space as the colours expand from their original places. Dark, nut brown, indigo and black merge together in a casual manner. We’re standing in front of the Royal

Creating a Painting of Charing Cross Station
Painting with Masking Fluid The begining of a painting always looks strange. Funny parts, disjointed and never quite making sense. My pictures always look grubby until the paint is applied.

Meditating on Admiralty Arch Painting
At the top of the Mall (or is it the bottom?) stands Admiralty Arch. Resplendent with the Royal Navy white ensign flags – all 8 of them. Historic British architecture at its best. Looking at the painting the features are clear but, on closer inspection, details begin to merge with one another. The arch itself
