This is a view of Southwark Bridge looking in a westward direction with St Paul’s cathedral in the distance. At dusk the bridge starts a light show, an amazing sight and experience as the lights are softly reflected on the Thames. As the night darkens the lights colours and reflections become more prominent but inContinue reading “Southwark Bridge”

Freedom
In this painting I was trying to capture a sense of unfettered freedom.

Woodland Mist
There is something ethereal almost spectral about woodland morning mist. Sometimes so low that it is swirling around your legs as you walk, other times all around you so trees seem to appear loom into sight from nowhere. Mist is formed in the morning as the sun rises and the ground warms up. The airContinue reading “Woodland Mist”

The name does not denote a natural group but rather any bird of prey large enough to hunt sizeable prey, although the eagle in this painting looks to be struggling in its search for food. Eagles can be found in allContinue reading “In search of food”
La Briscola e il Telefonino
Last year I was sitting outside a bar in Calabria enjoying a cold beer on a beautiful summer’s day in August. There were two groups near me at adjacent tables and I was fascinated by the vastly different level of social interaction within each group. To my right were seven local men playing “La Briscola”Continue reading “La Briscola e il Telefonino”
