Towards Hammersmith Bridge, Early Morning, March 18x24in, Oil on Canvas, Framed This atmospheric painting of London captures the quiet, ethereal beauty of an early March morning near Hammersmith Bridge. Originally exhibited at my inaugural solo show at Stamford Contemporary Arts in 2019, the piece was thought to be lost—hidden away until its rediscovery in March 2025. I’m delighted to offer it now as part of our inaugural fine art auction. The inspiration for this work comes from the legendary artist Edward Seago, whose mastery of light, mist, and atmosphere brought a timeless quality to his landscapes. In this painting, I aimed to echo that sense of transience, using a technique reminiscent of Sfumato—the soft, gradual blending of tones and colors pioneered by Leonardo da Vinci. This approach creates a subtle, dreamlike quality where the scene gently emerges from the mist, a technique I continue to apply in my figurative and landscape work today.

This painting was inspired by artist Edward Seago who so artfully captured fog and mist in his paintings. In his paintings, scenes emerge and recede in the mist. Rather like the Sfumato effect. Sfumato is a painting technique, popularized by Leonardo da Vinci, that involves creating soft, hazy transitions between colors and tones, often described as "smoked off" or "faded away," resulting in a subtle, almost dreamlike effect. It's still an effect I employ often when paintng and particularly life drawing.
