There is always a lot of action on Dray walk thanks to several cafes, boutiques, galleries and the superb Rough Trade record shop. To top it all, the sun lit it all so well, I could not pass it by today.

This is a hat tip to my favourite grocers in the neighbourhood – the lovely Leila’s shop and cafe on Calvert ave. in Shoreditch.

Saw these guys on my way home from a late night show – joyfully making their way to Shoreditch for some night-time fun. The steady flow of City folk for some good times to my current neighborhood makes for some real people watching fun.

Just finished a large painting of the fabulous Somerset House archway entrance. I did a small one of it before and totally fell in love with the image. It’s currently on show with Real Hampstead exhibit in West London.

Last night had a great opening at Real Hampstead. St. Stephen’s – the venue – is truly amazing. It runs until Tuesday if you’d like to stop by (St. Stephen’s, Rosslyn Hill, NW3 2PP) . The nice gentleman, who interviewed us artists at the show, confessed he was a foodie, so this helped me focus back on the Borough market today. This is a small tunnel entry into the market from Borough High st. on a wet and cold day. It ’s packed with people with cups of coffee in hand, shrugging off the morning chill.

Getting ready for a show at Hampstead, six of my little paintings are scheduled to go up there on July 22nd, including this one. This is a well-loved image of mine . The columns create a kind of a natural frame for the painting. In spite of loads of architectural detail, it also looks very minimal.

A completed commission for a client who used to live in London on this street. In spite of the unpredictability of these assignments, I usually have loads of fun with these and find something new and interesting for myself in the process.

Another of the commissioned London images – the classic view of the Parliament Buildings from Trafalgar square down Whitehall.

This is a commission for a couple who are moving away from London and would like to take with them the memory of their lovely house in Belgravia.

Another look at the market – through the rail bridge archway.

6×6 in, oil on panel, 2010, contact for availability
This is an oil on board painting, approximately 6×6 in (15×15 cm) large, shipped without a frame in a foam lined manilla envelope. Remember that colours may look slightly different in person, but usually for the better! Please add a week of drying time from the day of this post – the paint is still fresh!
