Lovely distinct style in this John - where will the exhibition be?

Love this. Very much like my grandma's house in Burnley!

Like this very much, John. So crisp and evocative, with a highly intelligent palette.

Really well painted urban scene. The one red sheet blowing in the wind really alters the whole scene. Excellent.

Looking forward to more washing lines as love this painting. Love the beautiful subtle colours on the building walls. Diana
