The Old Man of York
Painted from life, this piece holds the sensation of a moment that was there and then gone. In urban scenes, the challenge is to keep the architecture solid while letting the atmosphere stay open and lived-in.
There is a particular character to this location—the way edges soften, colours shift, and space opens and closes. Working from life allowed small truths—temperature, colour shifts, and subtle tonal relationships—to steer the decisions.
