A day in London

ready2goToday I delivered 5 paintings to Llewellyn Alexander (Fine Paintings) Ltd in London.  I travelled in on the tube with my trusty box easel and paint bag as well as the framed paintings.  I had wondered how I would get everything there and in the end I put the pictures in a large portfolio for extra protection.

I met up with fellow artist Richard Price and we each painted a couple of small pictures in Trafalgar Square. The light was good despite the sun going in and out all day and the wind that did its best to blow debris on the wet paint.

Landscape painter Karl Terry spotted us on his way home from the Chelsea Flower Show and his wife found herself painted into our pictures. Thanks Jo for being so patient!

Thanks also to Lucy for the squeeze of cadmium red 😉

  1. Just reading this as I just discovered your blog from Ilaria’s blog and I find it very interesting. I would really like to know in detail how you transported these on the tube because this has been a headache for me for years! Also I really love the mood and light in your paintings!

  2. I think the real answer is to paint small pictures. These were bubble wrapped then placed in a plastic portfolio that I put onto a lightweight folding trolley with extra padding. At the station go through the wide ticket barrier.
