Its a bit grim out there but at least the Snowdrops are out!

In recent months, I was commissioned to paint a house in #Wimbledon, #London. An interesting aspect of this project was that the client asked me to depict the house as it would have appeared in the late 19th century, when it was first built.

A Sunday morning In Eastney, Portsmouth. It is the view from Ferry Road to Lock Lake with a fella and his Jack Russell dog. it stretched on his lead to partake in the rarefied feast of an abandoned KFC box. He never did quite make it.

Sheep on a hillside in winter. How do they cope with all that cold weather? They seem happy enough, however. A #watercolour in Pylle, #Somerset and is a view from my cycle route.

An oil painting of Knick Knacks Antiques Emporium in Sutton on Sea, Lincolnshire. While I worked on the initial drawings for this they lent me a Victorian chair to sit on. Very kind.

Now for something a bit sunny!

Another #snow paint here. In this one it is a commission I did late last year for #Swarthmore College, #Pennsylvania, USA.

As we have a bit of #snow about here in the UK, I thought I would post something appropriate. Here is a snow scene produced as a commission in December last year.

A painting of St George's Church, Fons George, Taunton. This painting will be a giveaway at my next public speaking engagement in Taunton, #Somerset.

All blue glass, and not a single parallel line on the whole structure made them rather difficult.

#Spitalfields Market, East #London originated in a field next to the 12th-century St Mary Spittel priory, gaining a royal charter in 1682 to operate on Thursdays and Saturdays. Here it is in the 1930’s. Today it is for the tourists.
