This is a beauty and I love the wetness of the pavements and how you've painted them - sounds like it was a great day

A special day John…..and what a celebration this is of the event…..good luck!

This is a really good painting done in your own unique style. I like how you have left out the column which nearly everyone puts in. The National stands well on the left and the sky is so well done showing a typical London rainy day....

This works really well. I like the grey tones giving a sense of a dull, wet day in London.
