This painting from Albert Bridge is 12″ x 14″ I love the way that the tie posts over this view of Cadogan pier offer the perfect opportunity for enhancing linear perspective and it helped create a sense of space in this picture. I always thought central London had something of anonymous feel to it but…

Tower Bridge Early Morning 12 x 10″ This is one of several studies I have made of Tower bridge early on a Sunday morning. Momentary changes in the light conditions are very noticeable on the water as is tidal movement. I have not worked out yet why water levels can vary so substantially from one…

Officially fenced off, this barrier is nothing compared to the struggle through the overgrowth necessary to reach the lakeside view. Wildlife was abundant and sounded almost tropical. I was badly bitten on both both hands by what looked like mosquitoes…
