Hello London!

15″x30″ oil on canvas, SOLD
See all artwork available for sale.
So this is square one in a new city. I’ve always thought of myself as travel savvy, but I was humbled last night by missing a social art event due to my inability to navigate my way from my borough to a theathre in the city center. Apparently I’m only as travel savvy as a my smart phone makes me, which I’m without at the moment.
It’s almost overwhelming to take in all of the options in a city as big and rich in culture as London. My paints arrived yesterday so we’ll see how the sights translate on canvas. I’m pleased with this first piece of a pub in Soho just as people were leaving their offices. Happy hour is taken very seriously here.

Oh, how delightful to see people wearing jeans and no gym shoes! Sorry you were lost in the city, soon you will know it like the back of your hand. Though you were lost and didn’t make it to the event, I hope you discovered something exicting along the way. I can’t wait to see what you paint today!

ashley – i too had a recent move and amaze myself how completely get confused I get navigating the area. while my medium isn’t paint, and the scape is different, I captured it this way:

the best part of the story is I tweeted that I was lost and some locals called and talked me to my destiny!
great to see you painting again – enjoy your new location, my daughter may study there next year – i’ll have her look you up
