skygazing

Most of my paintings in some way relate to the sky, at different times of day, different weather and illusive effects of light and mood so I rarely take photographs, preferring to paint from memory. The other evening though the sky was a particularly intense blue behind the dark silhouettes of trees. A slow shutter and camera movement resulted in a few photos showing what inspired my most recent paintings - photos based on my paintings rather than the other way round...

My painting finds a new home...

Although I am always pleased when someone buys one of my paintings from a gallery (in this case the Columbia Road gallery in Hackney) I also often feel sad because then I don't know who has bought it or where it's new home is. So it was a lovely surprise to be flicking through the Style Pages of the Times Magazine today to see an article 'Tower of London' showing my painting At the end of the day II !  It now lives in the beautiful apartment of Georg Oehler, an interior and furniture designer, who resides at the top of the Strata building in London. Thank you Georg!
