My favorite place for a rewarding shot of macciato is at the Pavillion Cafe in Victoria Park. Nevermind it’s a construction site at the moment preceding the Olympics 2012, the pond and the foliage delights every time.

The morning was dampened by the grim look of the commuters on the way to Old Street and then Kings Cross, push bike stuck in the tube door and coffee nearly spilled into a very nice purse of a bystander; but soon after arriving home I opened my inbox to find several awesome emails from people who read the Gentle Author’s post about my work in Spitalfields Life. I can not say enough how much I am proud to be on this blog, all the work that is done on it is definitely history in the making.

So thank you all so much for your messages, it really made my day. I very much appreciate your ideas of places and art to see that might inform my own painting in some ways, so please keep them coming.  Sorry for dearth of work in my Etsy shop at the moment, please add me on Facebook, Twitter or  RSS feed to get regular post updates or sign up for the newsletter (via the filed on the right) to get occasional email.

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.

Must have been a dark-ish day outside that the State rooms at the Albertina palace were fully illuminated.
