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!

Stephan,

I like this a lot. I actually think this style suits London very well, whereas I wouldn't have like the wasps being 'too tidy'.

Best wishes,

I am very pleased with this new work and I think your choice of styling is spot on. Too often artists are styling to suit their opinions and come across as too suedo-political. This style tells London like it is and allows every viewer to lapse into their own memories and impressions of life in London. I would like to see the piece with a view to purchase.

Kind regards,
