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.

oil on canvas, 50×70 cm (20×28 in), 2010, (£491)

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.

I was very taken by the architecture of the Somerset House. The entryway and the courtyard inside are a joy to paint. Loved the patterns in this composition, the way the sun lit half the space, half left in bluish shade.
