Today i finally finished my painting of an old derelict pub i found in Birmingham, "The New Navigation". This pub is on Lewisham Road near the BCN Old Main Line Canal. When i last saw it the place was abandoned and in poor state but it caught my eye as i wandered on the outskirts of the city. I have painted abandoned buildings many times but this scene is well lit with a bright sky which contrasts with my usual subdued palette. An image of "The New Navigation" can be found in the Abandoned Spaces section of this website.
I recently came back from Scotland after visiting the Highlands. There i was inspired by the stunning landscape and loved travelling around the area. The mountains were incredible and i shall be starting a series of paintings based on my research.
