I commented enough about the lack of light in London and inability to source good strong shadows for my paintings. This front door of an amazing mansion block in Paddington neighbourhood of London (off Bayswater and very near Notting Hill) is striking enough without the need for the the sun to underline its beauty.

Another take on the Paddington station; an arriving train.

It was great to meet and talk with the artists whom I shared the wall space at the Real show by Go Figurative last week. Today is the new beginning – I am painting a series of commissioned 6×6 scenes of London. The exercise went on to a good start when I got a large email brief on the commission. It included the list of favourite places in London from nearly all of the company’s employees where my paintings will be hung – a pretty personal experience for me to put in paint their most fondest places. Here is the first one: a  glimpse at Paddington station, particularly it’s magnificent roof designed by Brunel.
