Just off the easel – the other side of Scalter street, a side street of Brick Lane.

Back from vacation but not fully online yet.

This is a completed commission of the Bush House in Aldwych, another example of amazingly beautiful stuff that was right under my nose yet had to be pointed out out for me to see. This (past Tuesday)  was the last sunny day in London seen; I am desperate for more sunshine to carry on the work.

I am off for two weeks, this is the last Shoreditch night-time scene for now. Have good rest of the summer!

Yet another of the night-time Shoreditch.

I’ve realized I have not posted this painting from the other week up here. It’s already gone from me, but here’s the image:

Another of the City vignettes – off the busy intersection of Threadneedle and Poultry  near the Bank of England.

Part of my Shoreditch small business appreciation theme. No small fit though – to win the Best Barista of 2009 award for the proprietor of this coffee shop stall at Prufrok, as well at the Penny University shop around the corner on Redchurch st.

Really enjoyed painting the suited group of the Monocle shop so I came back to the subject – dwelling on the City this time, with the Bank of England as a perfect backdrop.

This is one of the series of the Shoreditch night scenes.  The life and movement of people about is fascinating. The two mannequins in the window here looked particularly real in the light.
