The Market Scene is SOLD!


The market scene from Riobamba has probably been the most popular work I've done. Even when I was trying to show people other work which I was proud of, people always went back to that one.

It took about a year to complete, with long periods of "resting"; in fact on more than one occasion I had decided to abandon it all together, but it seems to have paid off.

I have been considering painting new, smaller canvases based on details of the same scene, so if you're interested, let me know.

Cheers!

Gremlins



I have received a couple of comments recently which I have not been able to read. When I try to access them I get sirens and flashing windows instead, warning me of possible viruses.

(Sorry Grogal and Dumuro!)

If you would like to let me know what you think of my work try sending me an e-mail instead (found in the profile section), and - if you like - I can try entering them as comments myself.



Thanks for your interest, and all the positive comments I've had so far!

London: A Sunday Morning in Winter



This is my first London painting. It measures only 8" x 6", and is painted on linen canvas.


I am currently re-discovering this city; reading about its history, and exploring new areas. It's all research for my next series of paintings. I have yet to determine which aspect of London I want to examine first - the choice is almost infinite - but I hope that in each painting I will be able to capture some of its character.


I also have to consider the style of painting I use. This painting is quite tight and detailed, but I think a looser approach may be better to express the speed, energy, and vitality of London life.


Asking price: SOLD!
