Crazy Rain & Reflections, City of London II, 8" x 8", Oil on Board

This is a little painting rain painting of London.

I love the reflections!

I love the buzz and the rush of the city!

People form all works of life, with umbrellas, determined to go into their offices for the start of a new day. They are soaked and cold in the London Rain!

The Iconic Red Bus splatters it's colours on the shiny pavements and there is a fair share of pollution in the air!

But I love it, so I paint it!

I have decided to bring the force of a "sketch" into it!

I worked on a small surface and it was tricky but in the end, I triumphed!

"Somebody needs to look at you and see who you really are, you are more than this, greater than this, don't define yourself because of your present circumstances...it doesn't work that way.

Vision is the most dominant force lacking in today's shortsighted society.

Don't be locked up in your past, step back and breath in and now walk into the calling that has been tugging at your heart since you were a baby. You are responsible and you are going to give an account if you remain there.

Don't live a phony, fake, delusional life, cease from yesterday, be a today person, this is it!" -Triple A .

Sleet & Grey Day, Greenwich, 15" x 8", Oil on Board

I love London when it rains!!

There's so much too see, the car lights reflect on the wet pavements creating nice warm reflections!

The skeletal trees peep through the atmosphere!

The people are all warmly clad with darks!

The wind blows and the sleet flows.

This is the London I love!!

So I paint these scenes with joy!!
