Wilton Arms, Belgravia
It’s been quite a while since I enjoyed a good pint down the pub. If I’m honest it had become quite a rare event anyway (well before we were ordered to stay at home due to a global pandemic!). But I still enjoy the notion of an inviting public ...
Primrose Hill in Autumn
A fresh commission to share today 'Primrose Hill in Autumn', a new artwork but a familiar viewpoint from the beautiful lookout on Primrose Hill. The scene is filled with exaggerated autumnal shades, creating a patchwork of colours below the ever ...
Royal Albert Hall Colouring Page
Will you be tuning in to the last night of the proms this evening? As with all the other big crowd events, everyone who enjoys the last night celebration (along with the rest of the wonderful prom season) will have to tune in remotely. I recently ...

‘The Churchill Arms, Kensington’ acrylic & ink on 20x20cm canvas. Previously known as the “Church-on-the-hill” the pub was given a new name after the Second World War. It is known for its extravagant floral displays! The pub sits ...
# Pub Paintings – The Crown & Two Chairmen
I've had a tradition of creating smaller canvases alongside my bigger feature work. I like the way these mini pieces can focus in on one building and provide some detailed little narratives. These stories are usually inspired by actual ...
Monday Inspiration: London Wandering
Sometimes I think there is nothing better than arriving on a train and wandering from the station out into the city. I particularly enjoy it when there's no where I need to be, so that your feet can get carried away and discover something ...
