Trafalgar Square in the Rain. Original oil painting on canvas 50.8 cm x 40.6 cm. This composition is based on a cropped photograph that I took while waiting in the rain for the National Gallery to open its doors. It is part of a series of paintings, all of which are produced from reference material from two rainy and overcast days in the capital.

This was painted directly onto the canvas without any underdrawing. It is also a slightly looser style that I have been producing of late.
