Cambridge tiled roofs along Trumpington Street. Someone has a parasol up because of the hot sun.

Trumpington Street, Cambridge, with the Loch Fyne restaurant, pastel (sold at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition. The channel that runs along the side of the road is Hobson's Conduit. I love drawing and painting chimneys.

Thank you Fleming!

I used to attend a life drawing group in King's College for many years and this was one of the places we regularly went afterwards for drinks. Wood-panelled bar interior, stayed open late, convivial company - happy memories cycling home a bit erratically. Age now keeps me in for early nights!

I wasn't able to find a record of when this found a buyer but I think it was from a small gallery in St Ives (Cambs) where I exhibited for a few years (closed now)

I installed it a few years ago and then uninstalled it a few weeks later. It was a total bombardment of (expletive deleted)

A watercolour drawing showing Hemingford Manor

My watercolour drawing of the amazing and very ancient Hemingford Manor. This was the House at Green Knowe in the Lucy Boston series of children's books (she lived there). It found a buyer at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition.

A mixed media work combining gouache, oil pastel and acrylic ink line drawing with a dip pen. Two girls were handing out flowers to the people in the queue. It was sold from an exhibition I had at Cambridge Artworks.

This painting is based on a queue for a Cambridge May Ball. The two young women are handing out flowers. It was bought by a friend as a present for a wonderful Irish lady who runs a guest house in Cambridge and it hangs there.

Yes it certainly is. It's full of character.

Thank you Charlotte, yes they are my own work.

Yes, thanks for the comment!

Thank you Bryan!

Please share. 💔

Ah but when I painted it there were hanging baskets with trailing flowers and it all looked a bit more scruffy and inviting.

Very nice it looks too!

The Eagle RAF pub of Cambridge A week ago I visited The Eagle pub in Cambridge that is famous for its priceless historical ceiling. The pub originally opened in 1667. A small back room is what is known as the RAF bar. During the da...

This is the link to further details of the pub, especially the preserved RAF ceiling. I have been in there many times wingsexplorer.com/the-eagle-ra...

A pastel of St Bene't Street in Cambridge with the entrance to the old Eagle coaching inn on the left.

This pastel includes the Eagle on the left, a pub with a long history. Details of the discovery of DNA were first announced there: cambridgeppf.org/dna/ It also has the RAF squadron numbers of British airmen from WW2 written in candle smoke plus a lot of memorabilia (link follows)...

Millie with flowers, pastel. This sold at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition. Millie led a contented life but as is the way of things, passed away. We don't have a cat now but several neighbourhood ones enjoy our garden (except when foxes drop by).

Me too!

It doesn't say at what income level the turquoise column starts to drop. I suspect it starts to tail off quite rapidly with improved finances except for millionaires with no sense of social responsibility who cynically want Farridge to cut their taxes

They are bounty hunters - never the good guys in cowboy films.

Critiques are welcome. Someone said it was too busy for them. I see where they're coming from! Sometimes the peaceful balance of a Mondrian is what's required.

Thanks for the offer! But no, please don't go to the trouble. It's breakable and heavy to send. I live near a street with lots of charity shops and I'm always spotting new things for still life (I get told off!)

Thank you Morna!

It was because his boss directly threatened to take Greenland by force.

An oil painting of a garden with plants in containers, a cushioned chair wiith a hat and a book and some garden tools in a bowl.

A hat and a paperback book on chair in our garden, oil on board from 2014 I think. Still have this leaning up somewhere.

The Anchor pub in oil. I worked on this one for ages, leaving it alone for periods and put it through quite a few changes

This oil painting shows the Anchor pub in Cambridge on Silver Street. Dated 2016 it sold probably in a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition
