I went to see the Royal Institute of Oil Painters exhibiting at the Mall Galleries and combined it with an early morning paint on the Thames.
A very grey day with a fine drizzle but still enjoyed it. So much hub-bub being on a busy bridge, very different to painting on the Surrey Hills!
Met some nice people passing by, 3 police officers stopped for a chat one told me about The Houses of Parliament, the closest and biggest tower in the painting is called St Stevens and Big Ben is known as the Clock Tower, I didn’t know this!
It always encouraging when people are positive about my painting when I’m half way through it’s a good boost and keeps me going!
I kept the paint quite thin and loose, it seamed to suit the day and weather.
The exhibition at The Mall Galleries was excellent and inspiring 🙂 – It’s finished now.
