For me, London is a place full of contradictions. It feels simultaneously old and modern, familiar and yet quite alien. Its scale seems vast in comparison with other towns, but its details are very human.

A lot of setting up at the @paintoutnorfolk 2021 exhibition was underway when I dropped off my final painting this morning (including mowing the gallery grass). Exhibition is at Flint Barn Field, Whitlingham Country Park is open from 6.30pm to 8pm this evening for the Private View and Saturday 10am to 6pm.Here is my final @paintoutnorfolk 2021 painting. Elm Hill is a popular Norwich view for artists, with its jettied medieval buildings and lovely cobbled streets. I was trying to convey the different surfaces in relation to each other through tone and texture.My set up this morning at Elm Hill in Norwich - for my last painting as part of @paintoutnorfolk 2021.... and this is my day 7 @paintoutnorfolk 2021 painting. The grounds of Gunton Deer Park was the most tranquil setting and my interest was taken by the extraordinary thatched housing for the water-powered sawmill (dating from 1824 and apparently the only surviving water-powered sawmill in Norfolk - lovingly cared for by the Norfolk Windmills Trust). In front of it stood a crane whose rusted cogs introduced rich russet tones into the painting.In the penultimate painting session today in @paintoutnorfolk 2021, I set up beside the Saw Mill at Gunton Park - as photographed here by @stephenjohnstonpainter (who I think, rather effectively, painted me!)
