Someone asked if I could post some more recent work. I have lately been browsing through older paintings but I'll see if I can choose a few more recent ones. 2021 isn't too long ago I suppose. This one sold at a Cambridge drawing soc. exhibition (info in alt txt).

Trumpington Street, Cambridge, oil on canvas, sold at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition. The Pitt Building (with the pinnacles) in the distance is where we hold our spring exhibitions. On the right is St Catherine's College.

Another of my watercolour drawings of Winchester from 1997 (still in my possession). I sat by some railings with my back to the cathedral and completed this on the spot even though light rain came on (I had an umbrella).

Turkish delight? For me that would be a trip to Turkey. Partly that’s @barbaranadel.bsky.social's fault with her great novels @ the country, partly it’s because I love the food (no wonder, growing up in Germany) but the main reason is the goddess Hekate. #vss365
