London Street Scene Paintings

London is very important for me, I was born in 1948 and I grew up in the centre of London.

Although I live in Kent, with the sea at the bottom of my road, I spend as much time as possible in London.

It has changed very much over the years, but fundamentally it still has the same attraction with the familiar names that I grew up with.

I can remember buying my first tubes of oil paint when I was about 15 year old in our local art shop in Hampstead, I thought this is really easy being an artist especially when I sold my first painting, but actually it took me many years to find my way.

When I have a interesting, often large painting of London in my studio, it makes life really exciting and I am usually up out of bed early in the morning as I cannot wait to be at work with it again.

When you see a painting you like, simply click on the thumbnail to view more information about the artwork, and click again if you would like to see an enlarged image.

I look for subjects to paint that often include people to create atmosphere and a narrative.

I often paint large format paintings of London, mostly from photographs and sketches I have taken, with the painting being completed in my studio.
