Oil on gessoed panel  (framed). One of the great things about living in a city like London is the juxtapositions. Old and new, filthy and shiny , peaceful and noisy, all existing side by side.  I love this tiny nook around the corner from where I live – at low tide this section of the Thames in Chelsea, nestled amongst billion £ developments, reveals a graveyard of shopping trolleys and traffic cones, all half buried in the mud.

The Isle of Jura has one road that runs the length of the island. It is a single track with occasional passing places and is bordered with telephone lines. I am always fascinated with the way these poles and wires disrupt the landscape and sky. This painting was inspired by a very rainy windy walk along this road, counting the poles until we got home.

I love the immediacy of life drawing and I am often drawn to “happy accidents”. This was drawn in 10 minutes with Carla modelling for us. The board I used to rest my paper on had deep gouges across it, presumably made with a blade by the previous user. I like the accidental marks these gouges made on the drawing.

Not far from where I live in London is a small public park called Cremorne Gardens. On one side it is bordered by the river Thames where on the foreshore is a jetty. This painting was inspired by a morning of sketching when the tide was low and the jettys’ legs were exposed, disrupting the landscape in an interesting way.

I love putting together random collaged pieces and this allows the viewer to create their own narrative. The underlying painting structure of this piece is based on Urban landscape.
