I ususally encounter a lot of public interest when painting on the embankment and once lost a paintbox to some children but on this cold and breezy day there were only joggers and cyclists. One who did stop turned out to be a fellow artist and Royal Portraitist, James Potter. I have added his site to my links page and there is some interesting work there, some delightful watercolour nudes and a huge 8 feet by 15 feet group portrait!
