Original artwork description:
As a regular traveller into London I spend much time staring out of the window at the passing scenery. Occasionally, and for a second or two, a familiar sight or iconic building presents itself in a gap between obstructions. In this painting I show a distant St Paul's cathedral - a favourite subject of mine - appearing under a gantry, with the setting sun creating a hard silhouette and causing the background to glow orange. I have created a dramatic and dynamic composition, with Ravillious' more bucolic train view in mind.
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.
