I tend to work on a number of paintings in my studio at the same time. It means I have many on-going, some of which I may have started years ago. They might get temporarily abandoned if I reach a point where they’re not going so well or the thick oil paint needs to dry. The image above is an iPad drawing I made on Hampstead Heath in the summer of 2021 for a series I was working on. It’s was drawn probably at the highest point on the Heath near the Vale of Health. I loved the giant pine tree towering over the distant City of London.

So, the work in progress on the right of it is a detail of the oil on canvas version currently on my studio wall.

It’s large, about 140 x 80 cm.
