A recent painting inspired by my mooching around Soho.
Wardour Street Phone Box
Oil on canvas
21" × 18"
This phone box stands outside St. Anne's Churchyard in Wardour Street. Very dilapidated and abused. Yet, its bright red paint still manages to make it stand proud despite all the grot & grime!
I've recently reworked this oil painting of a former Soho peep show and listed it on my website.

I paid another visit to the National Gallery yesterday to take a quick pic of my miniature oil painting in a tin of the amazing JMW Turner painting, The Fighting Temeraire, before handing it over to its new owner. Many thanks, Matt.

I haven't done a miniature painting in a tin for ages, it seems? So, it's good to get back in the habit again with an oil painting of The French House in Soho.
If you're interested in the tin, details are on my website (link in my bio).
