I love the detail in this John

Thanks so much Carrie, I think I go into a trance doing these... then I wake up and there's an odd little painting in front of me ;)

Hi Heather, yes!! Plenty more where this came from :)

Goodness me John, this must have been a challenge! Very well executed and I like the letterbox canvas. My daughter lives in East London not far from here so it all looks familiar and I can only guess how difficult to paint.

Hi Tessa, I loved your comment! I've been doing quite a few of these panoramic paintings lately, it all seems to start with the placement of one building, if it's right I have some sort of outer body experience and it paints itself in about two hours. I'm delighted you recognise the spot. :)

I made a quick painting to play around with the composition at Hackney, it has grown on me but at the time I didn't quite see it..
