Evening Standard

24 x 18 Acrylic on canvas board derived from photograph taken while visiting London during Summer 2009. Photograph outside Waterloo Station on the southbank in London of people walking past an Evening Standard newspaper stand. The rain was coming down at a steady drizzle so my wife and I had taken shelter in a coffee shop whilst waiting for friends we had arranged to meet. I took several photographs while sitting there and these will be used in future works.

Purple Rain

24 x 18 acrylic on canvas board derived from a Lorraine Christie work that I saw in American Art collector. The concept came from the two figures in the middle of Lorraine's piece that were talking underneath an umbrella and dressed in business attire. The image draws no resemblance to the original as this was where the conceptual thought came from.
