An older watercolour drawing from when I used to make frequent trips to sketch in London. This shows the Embankment with lots of pigeons, a pavement artist and a couple of Japanese young women on one of the benches. This was sold at an exhibition.

Another older watercolour drawing showing St Edward's Passage in Cambridge next to the Arts Theatre and David's Bookshop when it had a shop on that side of the church (now it only has one on the other side)

Another London sketch dug out of a portfolio, done on a Sunday in 1992 sitting in a doorway on Ludgate Hill looking up to St Paul's. I found another St Paul's drawing where the paper has deteriorated but this one has survived OK.

Another of my watercolour drawings of Winchester from 1997 (still in my possession). I sat by some railings with my back to the cathedral and completed this on the spot even though light rain came on (I had an umbrella).

Watercolour painting of Freddie's sister, Rosie. Photo taken by my son. Rosie and Freddie are my daughter's cats and are grown up now. Isn't this so cute?

Another old Cambridge street watercolour, done sitting on the low wall at the front of St John's. This is Bridge Street with autumn coming on. Someone wearing a gown is cycing along. Sold a while ago and scanned from a film photo of the original.

I mentioned earlier today that I had done a watercolour of the London Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand. This is it from 1993 (see alt text). I did several paintings wandering up and down the Strand and also in the Inns of Court.

A very old watercolour of mine done from beside Grantchester Mill pond (I think the date says 1981). A long time ago but I remember being pleased with this one. I wish I still had it but it sold not long after being painted,

This is the start of something big!
Now when posting I tag businesses for collabs and they usually answer back.
