Croydon again ...

Here are a few recent paintings I'll be putting into the Croydon Art Society (I know, the glamour). Tower Bridge and the Italian street are typical and possibly unremarkable subjects for watercolour, but present enough challenges to be a satisfying exercise. The building site is now not such an unusual subject, and again, offers some exciting daubing
 for the artist. The riot is not often seen depicted in watercolour, but its a subject which draws me in and a proper treat to paint. You might see an obvious nod to the graphic novel and Ken Adam for which I am in complete agreement. My only problem with this painting is the group of riot cops, whose heads, because they're wearing helmets, look too big, which is a real learner mistake. So, the big heads are deliberate.
