A painting of Primrose Cottage (1903) at the Milton sea Lock, Eastney, #Portsmouth. The canal was shut down and filled in many moons ago though the sea lock remains. This #painting was my raffle prize at my talk on art with the Portsmouth Urban Sketchers Group.

I had a very enjoyable morning delivering a talk to the Portsmouth Urban Sketchers group. Great to meet everyone and great to see more people talking up a bit of painting.

I thought I would post A character detail of a painting of Charing Cross Road in #London. I really enjoy drawing and painting human individuality. Everyone has a totally different story.

Here is a detail of the street from yesterdays post of Denmark Street, #London. The painting is over a meter tall so it's not so easy to see the details and all the folks scuttling about.

Blast from the past: In this video I am visting Dittisham in Devon. It is situated near the mouth of the River Dart , a fine ancient fishing port and real treat for painter and tourist alike. Enjoy.

Columbia Road Flower Market goes back to 1869. It served the old local French Huguenot population who were keen on cut flowers, they were also keen on caged song birds too, and one of the streets pubs is still called ‘The Birdcage’ as an echo of this time.

In this video, I’m visiting the village of #Cookham in the county of Berkshire, during which I managed to do two paintings. And visited the Stanley Spencer Gallery. See link in the comments.
