My new painting, and the print, is formed from two square images that are designed to be displayed next to each other.
We will publish this as a Collectors Edition so that the image can be licensed for use as a card etc.
30 Jan 2012 ... New painting finished!
The Shard is London's newest and tallest building yet to grace the stunning City skyline. The Shard is due to be finished in May. I have painted the view showing the unfinished building under construction with the crane on top. What a view that crane driver must have had.

2012 LONDON ART
The exhibitions are all about our London based art. That is paintings, prints and cards with a London theme. I guess that most of my readers already know that Cityscapes of London are among my favourite subjects. But did you also know that my wife Fran Slade has also created a collection of portraits showing London costermongers, market traders, eccentrics and other cockney characters.Here is a link to a page showing Fran's Cockney Characters.
And this just one of them. He is a Chelsea Pensioner.
It is nearly finished. watch this space to see it unveiled very soon.
The first gallery to host our show will be;
'The Only Place for Pictures' in Islington.
The first exhibition kicks off mid February. More later.

Last minute nerves and a classic mistake, And I made it!
My post here yesterday was about the final nerve-wracking 48 hours before our imminent Artists Open House show.
I also sent about 3000 emails to our list.
But on some of the emails I forgot to include WHERE we are holding the show.
I mean, I ask you...Ye Gods and little fishes...what a classic blunder.
So here is a nice photo of our house and the address.
This WHERE our Artists Open House is starting tomorrow at 11am.
Address is: 182 Springfield Road, Brighton, Sussex, BN1 6DG.
I hope to see you here.

24 Oct 2011 Chainsaw massacre!
There was a bit of noise at the bottom of the garden yesterday. We had been warned that British Rail were going to trim the vegetation on the railway embankment. Then up pops this guy and cuts down several big trees.
Well it has improved the view and allowed more sunlight onto the veggy patch [and wasp nest].
