Common Winter



(Private Collection)


a small selection of paintings of Streatham Common from the winter. One captures the frost biting into the ground the day before the huge snow fall in December. They are all painted in the bitter cold and wind of the common, the painting of the snow covered common was done during a snow flurry of snow, i had to stop painting it after a while as I could no longer see the canvas as it was so completely covered by snow, it was quite an interesting experience taking the painting home to thaw out and see what the hell i had actually painted.
