‘Night Patrol’ 2022. This is the only painting I’ve done that includes my husband, Steve and dog, Charlie. It depicts them heading for the common across the road on a cold night a few years ago in the middle of the pandemic. #fineart #oilpainting #nightscenes #london #solitude #twilight

‘Mother and Child, Plaistow’ 2019. If you visited this station today, you would see that it’s suffocated by tower blocks that have been built all round 😢. #londonunderground #oilpainting #realism #fineart #contemporaryart #britishmofernart

This is a place I pass through often. It is the entrance to Cleaver Square, Kennington.

'Regent's Canal, Twilight,' shows Westbourne Terrace Road Bridge as it joins the curve of Blomfield Road before Warwick Place in Little Venice, London. Algernon Newton painted this picture in 1925, one of several works depicting this corner of the canal.

Ville d'Avray, some ten miles from Paris, was to provide Corot with an important subject for his paintings throughout his career. His father bought a country home here in 1817, and Corot never tired of painting the place which had meant so much to him as a youth. This work is from 1834.

A detail from a work in progress...#winter

Before the bridge- a local service from Grimsby at New Holland Pier to connect with the Ferry to Hull Corporation Pier back in 1977- note the coal wagon in the middle road to supply coal for the Paddle steamer Lincoln Castle which worked the service at this time. @railarchive.org.uk
