Graduation day @kcl-spe.bsky.social! I love these days, a chance to celebrate our students and their families.
This time there was an added hazard with yours truly straying *perilously* close to the edge of the stage!

Time for another one of my old London paintings. I completed this one on a crowded street and the main focus is St Martin-in-the-Fields but I also enjoyed dashing in the passing people with a few pen strokes. This went into an exhibition and sold immediately.

A watercolour drawing of the well-known central London church St-Martin-in-the-Fields, triumphantly designed by Scottish architect James Gibbs. He didn't design the six red telephone boxes though - that was Sir Giles Gilbert Scott who was also responsible for Battersea Power Station.

The original plans for that project were completely insane. Pure magical thinking.

Outstanding! After much searching I picked up a great deal on a Jr. Every now and then it's good to treat yourself!

Thank goodness these attitudes no longer exist :/

Wonderful to hear and what a fantastic cause (have had a similar experience but not quite out the other side). I hope this gets some real traction.

Rod Dacombe @rod-dacombe.bsky.social · Jan 2

Just doesn't bear thinking about...

Rod Dacombe @rod-dacombe.bsky.social · Jan 2

Horrible. If it did flash there'd have been no way out.

Rod Dacombe @rod-dacombe.bsky.social · Jan 1

An excellent cause. Good luck!!!!
