I really enjoyed painting this picture in oils of Liberty's which is the oldest store in London. It was bought by a Lady in Blackburn and to date has earned me more than any of my other paintings. I enjoy doing the street scenes inspired by Lowry and his work. I choose much bolder colours and put the same characters in a lot of my street scenes.  You will often see the old man in the painting who looks like an elderly uncle I have and also the lady postiing a letter. I try to capture the busyness of the street and will put in things that I see when out and about.
I intend to do a lot more painting since I have just taken my final Open University exam for this year in Social Psychology. I have much more time on my hands and have found that my creativity has been some what squashed with all the studying. I am not sure what to paint next and am looking for inspiration.Thanks for looking at the blog anyway and shall post something new soon.
