Commission in progress: detail of one of 2 portraits 24x36".

A summer oil painting in the garden with a woman standing on a stepladder (pruning a honeysuckle). The red oil lamp works but I wouldn't light it there (fire risk!)

This oil on canvas showing the garden at the front of the studio was finished in 2024 and hung in the autumn exhibition of the Cambridge Drawing Society where it found a buyer. I called it "The Stepladder" (size 30" X 34").

Oil on canvas

In a red brick arch under a bridge, a middle-aged blond man receives the ministrations of pigeons.

I asked if I could take his picture. Yes. I stepped across a band of shit. The pigeons began to frighten. Too close. A cloud of gray & blue & pink rushed at me. He looked up. Bare of birds. He said nothing. I stepped back. The birds returned. Together they ate. He said “Now,” & I took my picture.

Really love this!!
