This is a scene I never tire of painting, and currently trying to get a simpler, better composed and slightly warmer feel to my city paintings. The basic shape of the skyline still sits on the horizon and I have warmed up the dome of St Paul's Cathedral. The skyline was changed to suit my composition, a few ugly buildings removed (and why not), so if it looks unusual to those who know the view, that's why. Like most of my other paintings, I have added some figures, here to the lower left, not sure what they're up to, possibly looking at their smartphones or marvelling at the beauty of St Paul's - I feel a scene looks spooky without at least one figure.
Techniques used were the full range of masking, wet in wet washes, dry brush and sharp detail.
All paintings are wrapped and packed in robust card and posted
within one working day in the UK, slightly longer internationally.
