Back in the Dennis Severs’ House today. Wonderful place to have woken up in the morning, isn’t it?

Saw this moving hay stack on the road home. Took me right back to the good childhood memories. The guy on top of the stack was looking really comfortable.

I’ve been in Ukraine for the past two weeks therefore the derth of posts here. As the road run parallel the train tracks, the locomotive  in the picture has taken us over, while we were driving along in a car; although normally the same trip by train we did by bar takes two and a half times longer normally. One of the local mysteries.

The wet streets of London after the major snowfall : not a bit of snow left on the ground, just the enormous reflection pool for street lights at dusk.

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

The colour combination of the walls and he furniture just blew me away here. Although, not sure what the duke thought of his study, but seeming myself in the mirror as I sat at my desk would be a bit uncomfortable.

Loved painting  this sun based family walking out of the Hyde Park. Did not sun catching today in the Embankment area. It weather changed five times (inducing rain) during the half hour I spent there.

Another take on the Paddington station; an arriving train.

Today spent happily taking in the rare sunlight in the yard of the Southwark cathedral, conveniently  next to all the  the Borough market, leisurely taking in late breakfast and early lunch, coffee, pint… indulging exceedingly, that’s what weekends are for.  In the afternoon made an image of shoppers at the  market green grocers stall ( it’s the mushrooms on the picture) to mark the well spent time.  Here I intentionally kept the brush stroke very loose,  almost as if I was painting with watercolours, not oils.
