I painted Evening on The Strand, London a few years ago, near the beginning of my art journey. It’s inspired by a composition by Michael Alford, whose work I admire, though I changed some of the figures, lighting and atmosphere to create my own interpretation. I love the warm glow and lively spirit of a London evening. This is a view of The Strand in London, outside the iconic Wellington pub, looking out in the direction towards Charing Cross station. A familiar, comforting street scene. To me, this painting radiates a cozy, vibrant energy, a snapshot of everyday magic and urban charm.
