Downpour at Borough
I love painting rain and I love painting markets so perhaps it was inevitable that when I found myself delivering paintings to the Menier Gallery one wet Monday that I would wind up around the corner at Borough Market taking references for a painting.
I love the colours, the business and the close interactions between people that you get at all markets but each one also has it’s own character. Being at London Bridge in the heart of the busiest part of central London has definitely shaped Borough and you will never here the common market refrain of ‘Pound a Bowl’ at Borough! Tourists enjoying the look of the beautifully laid out stalls and well heeled Londoners with specialist dinner parties to throw are much more the order of the day.
I wanted a light hatred holiday mood for the painting with lots of colour and light despite the heavy rain which I depicted by laying down small streaks of bright colours. This worked in an almost pointillist way allowing for optical mixing and keeping the image bright and providing a slightly blurred effect for the background. It was also great fun to paint.
Focus LDN Spring Collection
I’m really pleased to be showing with Focus LDN for the first time. It’s a a new and exciting group of 30 artists many of whom are creating work inspired by various aspects of London life.
Art Maze @ Bargehouse

The opening will be on Wednesday 14th December 6:30-8:30pm other days the exhibition will be open from 11am to 6pm. It promises to be a really interesting collection in a crazy old building.

It’s always busy, always fun and always full of interesting and talented artists! I’ll be at the New Artists Fair again for 2016, come along and enjoy the excitement.
As well as the street scenes I’ll be showing a new range of leaf paintings.
New Artists Fair
I’m back at the New Artist’s fair on Brick Lane this September. It’s always a wonderful event for meeting new and exciting artists in a great setting.
Urban Art Fair 2015
This will be my first time at the iconic Urban Art Fair in Brixton. It promises to be an exciting couple of days with artists both well known and brand new brightening up the railings of Josephine Avenue.
UA Members Exhibition 2015
Tomorrow I will be going into London to help with the hanging for the Annual UA Members Exhibition at the Bankside Gallery. This year I have five pictures on show, ‘Cricket’, ‘A New Day’, ‘Thomas Turner Path’, ‘Crossing’, ‘Climbing’. I will also be helping with the stewarding on Tuesday 7th July in the morning if anyone is in town and would like to drop in for a chat. The show is on until the 12th of July.
