I saw a beautiful Roberto Ferri painting yesterday and spontaneously started a copy of it in pastel.
I seem to be going through another phase of doing nudes!

Disappointed to see the neon lights of La Bodega Negra no longer in Old Compton Street. I always intended to paint them on a rainy night with the reflections bouncing off the pavement. Thankfully, I have painted a scene of them, with a couple kissing outside.

Today's featured painting in my Spring Studio Sale is a quirky one, as it's a self-portrait, and inspired by the story from Greek mythology of Selene, the Moon goddess, who fell in love with a human on Earth called Endymion. Apparently they had 50 kids!!

This is an oil painting!
I got up early today, in the mood to paint something quick and without much thought. Just to paint and see what happens?
I might do a bit more to this one? But, for now, I'll leave it as it is and do something else!

I went to see the Lucien Freud exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery last week. The painting that caught my attention the most was a small but perfect oil of Leigh Bowery. Here's my copy in watercolour and Freud's oil.
Thank you. I really appreciate that.

My painting of Brewer Street in Soho in it's new home on a wall in Brewer Street in Soho. Which I think is very cool. You can just see the famous Paul Raymond neon sign through the window top left.
A slight diversion from my usual painting style with my latest painting. A nod to 20th century modern art, celebrating the brutalist architecture of the National Theatre on London's Southbank.
