This is a nice painting Derek kind of accentuates the empty lonely subway. Well done m.

Been there Alan? I haven't even as a tourist. I think it's for the underground, thanks and to the other dennis

You do find some really unusual subject, Derek, and with your magic touch, you turn them into super paintings.

It really does convey the seedy look and feel of some undergrounds Derek...excellent.

Thanks Thea and Fiona, trying a portrait from a photo I found now, not easy

Creepy and claustrophobic, but I like it.

Thanks Gudrun. I had a great phone conversation today with Jerry Sanders featured in the last issue of The Arstist magazine, who paints entirely with credit cards. Lots of good hints, exchanges and advice for me but encouraging sounds too as he looked at my website and stuff in here..

These are getting better and better, Derek! Super poses and composition.

Probably a semi abstract, using a ref photo in a travel mag. 32 x 20cm on paper.

About the Artist

Derek Snowdon

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
