 The other seven works are of inner London, with locations that include Battersea and Hampstead, and favouring my interests in public transport, street furniture and heavy industry.

 All of the works represent “My Kind Of Place”, the sort of locations I find visually stimulating and commanding of affection. It’s so hard to describe one’s own creative efforts without waffling pretentiously, so it’s really much better if you go along and have a look at the paintings for yourself. I hope you will.
