"Norman Road Intersect, Belvedere", 18" x 12", Oil on Board, 2009

The snows started immediately I landed Heathrow Airport from Tokyo on Tuesday night and I just needed one days rest and after that I just couldn't wait to get out there to paint. The light was beautiful just for a while today and I managed to capture a bit of it in this painting. It was biting cold but my experience at Bath helped me to get used to any sort of weather. I enjoyed the painting but after a while reality stepped in and I couldn't bear it no more, it was time to pack up after 2 hours out in the snow!



Below are some shots of me on site.
