It is always a special pleasure to sell a painting to a buyer with connections to the Thames. This painting was bought by someone whose family worked as dockers at the wharf and for whom it holds precious memories.

Children Paddling 1950
This painting was made in 1950 during a time when there were many water tanks left lying around. During the war these tanks were used to put out incendiary bombs and this painting whilst not strictly 'true' was based on a typical Bermondsey scene. This painting was in fact a study for a larger work which was one of the first paintings I exhibited while a student at Camberwell School of Art (in a college show) and to my delight was bought by Sir William Coldstream. This smaller study, a happy memory, is not for sale.
Oil on board 460mm W x 470mm.

Serendipity - An exhibition of paintings by Jonathan Cowell and L J McLeod
It is a pleasure to help publicise this exhibition by 2 very talented artists Jonathan Cowell and L J McLeod. Jonathan Cowell is an ex-student of mine from Byam Shaw School of Art, where I taught for many years. This will be a unique and exciting combination of styles and atmospheres and a not to be missed event.
Lightermen at Cherry Garden Pier
I made this painting (now sold) in 1985, a very different landscape not so long ago!
