BYE BYE PECKHAM !
I haven’t posted since January as we have been frantically busy selling our house and looking for a rental on the coast. We moved last week to Worthing, under a lot of pressure to do this very quickly, plus combing grandparent duties has meant no time for social media or work.
We didn’t have time to organise leaving drinks, but we will be returning to London over the summer & Nic will send out a mail shot when we have a date for that.
Sad to go after nearly 34 years in Peckham but ready for pastures new. I’m still taking commissions (now for seascapes as well as cityscapes 😀) DM for enquiries
From the sketchbook (over 2 pages hence the faint white line!), continuing with my detailed pencil drawings: Entrance to Waterloo Station.

2025 has been a year of changes for me, a change of priorities, change of studio, a new knee operated on 22 Dec. It’s a cliche but what’s important is health & family as I turn 70 this Sunday.
I had constant private commissions throughout 2025 for which I am very grateful, plus thanks to the following for exhibiting my work this past year:
@tomcoxgallery@affordableartfairuk@gpsgallerysoho@guildfordsheritageservices@artistsopenhse@copelandparkse@dayonehair
Thank you to @litanga.co.kn for this picture of Nic & me in my old studio at the Bussey Building, I hope that you have many happy & prosperous years there as I did
‘Piccadilly in Monochrome’ (detail) pencil on paper 60x84cm
Drawing is the basis of my practice, but I rarely exhibit work on paper. Over the past few months I have been concentrating on working with this medium. More to follow.

My first post for a month, I have been working hard on this commission of Greenwich Park.
All is not what it seems: Look carefully at the skyline, there are two iconic buildings from Singapore. The couple’s wedding venue is in there, a formula one car is on a path and there are other personal touches included in the composition.
A commission can be whatever you like, DM for more information or look at the ‘Commissions’ page on my website.
