The glass and steel structures give a perfect opportunity to concentrate on the skies above.

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

Today’s painting of the street running past the wonderful Hawksmoor church in Spitalfields. No bell tower in sight, just of the shadow it casts on the surrounding buildings.

This week I will be back on the Dennis Severs’ House. All of my 2010 pictures of it, along with several new ones I am working on this week will be on show and available through 11 Spitalfields gallery on Princelet street this December  (it’s a stone throw’s away from the House).

Today’s image is of the reflection of the beautifully renovated Spitalfields houses. I have been hanging out in the area a lot lately, for a good reason, more about it later on. Must confess though that the inspiration of Anthony Eyton’s work on the area had a lot to do with my inspiration on the subject.

Back to the train of thought on architecture. In my lat architectural post I’ve painted its reflection onto the nearby buildings -one of the most important landmarks in Spitalfields – the Christ Church. In this picture it makes up for a great contrast with the renovated market. The planners ensured it is not obscured from the gaze of the passer-byes on Bishopsgate st., they even attempted to stylize the market to speak of the same things as the church; in its story about good days past still can’t avoid hearing its accent because of too much glass and steel impeding the speech.

Now that I’ve got the delivery of my blog posts by email, please add your email address to the box on the right if you’d like to receive them via email (about five per week).

The beautiful 5 Fournier street, and the Town House next door, across the street from Christ Church in Spitalfields. The shadow of the church cuts across the picture.

No vitamin D today, just cold rain in these parts.

A fun corner of two Spitalfields streets. Hanged out here yesterday, went to check out Jeremy Freedman’s photos at the Rough Trade East. The Christ Church Spitalfields is in the background. The pavement was wet and reflected interesting shadows of passersby.
