- ‘French Riviera, Bethnal Green’ 2024 Oul on canvas
- ‘After the Hurricane’ 1988 Storm Amy reminded me of the painting I began a few weeks after the devastation caused in October1987, featuring King Edward Memorial Park, Shadwell. Unusually I have included myself in this picture!
- ‘The Shadow’ 2015. Arles towards end of Summer. In a quiet alley to escape the noise found in all tourist places these days and felt at home here where I could weave a story around the man ahead and the woman pulling aside a curtain to peer out.

- ‘Front Step’ 1975. Pencil drawing of parents made shortly before house requisitioned for ‘slum clearance’ to make way for concrete blocks of council flats. 50 years later these too look ready for the knackers’ yard

- ‘Regent’s Canal, Stepney’ 2002-17. By the time I was satisfied with this painting, the corrugated fences had been replaced and the tow path was teeming with joggers and cyclists. Railway bridge still rules ok though!
- ‘Theatre Royal, Stratford’ 2024. A few years the facade was repainted in tasteful, muted coffee and mocha colours but I prefer the building as it was- brash and glittery. This painting is in memory of those times
- ‘Grandad, Prospect Terrace’ 1975.Still have, yellowed by over use of fixative.NB sterilised milk bottles delivered on the sill- no fridge in the tiny scullery. He was a tough man, gave up smoking Senior Service at 72, lived to 92…Survived Ypres (pronounced Wipers in our family), shot through the arm

- ‘Turner’s Road, E3’ 1988. All that remains is the chimney and, nearby, a sign declaring ‘George Davis is innocent’, probably by the same hand. A man wearing an old greasy mac squatted in the building above the graffiti. He constantly tinkered with a decrepit old van parked on waste land opposite.

- ‘Whitsunday, Commercial Road’. An old favourite, I’ve posted before. Sold in1989, lost for almost 30 years until owner saw my work on SM and thought I might be the artist 😊. I think Video shop became travel agents which in turn became defunct because of internet. Funeral parlour now burger bar…
- ‘Mum making tea’ 1974’. Our bathroom has just refurbished as ‘state of the art’ shower room. How times and expectations have changed! Back then, the bath was in scullery, but no plumbing. It was filled with buckets of water heated by geyser.
