New Paintings Still Wet

The last chance to save the day!

"Under Hungerford Bridge"
"Under Hungerford Bridge"
Three times I set up in different parts of London and each time was rained off within a few minutes and eventually it set in for the day. So it was off to Cornelissens to restock on paint. Later while waiting for the rest of the party, (the part that shops for bling) I found this view under the Hungerford Railway Bridge. It was too dark to really see what colours I was using under the street lights but it stopped me going home empty handed and feeling cheated by the weather.

Hi Michael,
It is so fun for me to see this lovely painting of a rainy day in London. Even tho you had little light to work by, you have created a gem!

I love reading your story about the London weathe. One of my favorite cities!
I used to have a relative in Rochester and one in Bath that I got to visit a few times before they passed on to their great rewards.

I am quite fond of the country you call home :)

I always found that "your" weather was full of mystery and spirit!

Happy creating! ~ and stay dry :)

Hi Padgett

Thank you for your kind remarks! I enjoyed your website and your artwork very much as well as the photography. We must get together next time you are in London, I am up there again tomorrow and won't go without a coat!

Lovely painting. Infact I like all of your work. It is nice to know there are more people out there with the `illness' as I refer to it :-) Although you seem to have had it a lot longer than me. Unfortunately although its my passion I only manage to get a day or two a week to paint if Im lucky! So like you I go out whatever the weather! Might bump into you sometime, and I will keep coming back to check up on your paintings.

All best

Karl Terry
