On a visit to this exhibition at the Mezzanine Gallery at the Old Royal Naval College, with my daughter yesterday, we took some 'detail' shots of the works … there is some truly stunning work but there is only one way to see the full glory....!

Blackheath Art Society Autumn Exhibition 13/10/18 - 2/12/18

The Blackheath Art Society is a local group with an amazing variety of talent and styles. This year the Autumn exhibition will be held in the 'Upstairs Gallery' at The Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich, London from the 13th October to 2nd December 2018. The exhibition is open daily from 10am to 5pm and is a perfect opportunity to buy a unique gift, either to treat yourself (because you are worth it!) or to treat another (because they are worth it!).

St Pauls from....

I recently came across a photo of this painting showing an eerie St Pauls, which I completed in the 1960's. I recall painting the view from somewhere around the Queenhithe stairs. The area has changed so dramatically now, can anyone identify the building that looks like a church to the left in the foreground?

Keen eyed Richard Dodson nailed it when he sent a link to this site; https://alondoninheritance.com/london-churches/the-lost-wharfs-of-upper-thames-street-and-st-benets-welsh-church/. Scroll down and you will see almost the exact same view and the author having similar difficulty until with patience he works out how the street pattern has changed!

Greenwich Park

In the sunshine thoughts turn away from the noisy, dusty, streets towards the leafy, green expanse that is our local park. Much appreciated by visitors from afar as a World Heritage Site, it is also the more humble source of continued inspiration for many local artists. Here are a few scenes through the changing seasons...

Royal Observatory Late Summer. Oil on canvas, 355w x 250h. £385.

Royal Observatory - Winter. Oil on canvas, 355w x 250h. £385.

Old Friends. Oil on board, framed 340w x 295h. £385.
