Buskin' in Bolton

‘Busking in Bolton’

A few years ago I was Exhibiting my Art, along with other Artists, In a Street Art Exhibition, when I managed to capture this moment on camera.

The violinist is my Son, who came along to offer me support in the form of Busking. As I turned around from my stall, I noticed he was starting to draw a small crowd of appreciative listeners. I quickly took a photograph, capturing The Moment!

This Watercolour is the result of that Scene.

Mayday Festivities - Oxford University

‘Mayday Festivities’ – Oxford University

Whilst my Daughter was studying at Worcester College she would tell me of the Fantastic atmosphere in Oxford when it was Mayday. There would be Artists, Musicians, Dancers and all kinds of Street activities. including dancing around a Maypole. Often the partying would go on through the night. She sent me some photographs. This Watercolour above is depicting one of the scenes!

After I had finished painting, I stood back and noticed I had omitted to put the young girl’s legs in the painting. With my paint brush hovering ready to paint them in, I Stopped. I realised it actually gave something more to the picture by the legs absence. Like an ethereal figure floating off to the sound of the musician’s music!!

This is a picture of my son performing as Leader of A String Quartet several years ago. I captured the moment not just for the String players, but also, the architecture and statue in the background. The Quartet were performing  in order to raise money for charity.

My little boy!

My little boy!

My son was one of the first watercolour portraits I had ever painted. it was done to commemorate him gaining a place in the Halle Youth Orchestra, playing in first violins, at the age of fourteen. A VERY PROUD PARENT MOMENT!!! I was also quite pleased with the portrait too.

(Also see Watercolour Portrait of ‘That’s My Boy’ with some of His Achievements)
