Painting inspired by a drive in the rain

I went to a small tourist town called Yufuin. I intended to help my friend take down his exhibition and to collect two of my paintings that were in his exhibition. But, this didn’t happen. And at first I thought that my trip had been pointless. However, whilst there I saw the next exhibition and it was amazing. And on the way back home it was raining and the atmospheric scene inspired a small series of paintings.

An unexpected meeting and a moving story

In June of 2014 I was checking out a cafe for an exhibition with my friend Mark. While there we had an unexpected meeting with a woman who had a very interesting story to tell us.

I’m not certain when I painted this picture. I think it was around 2011.It’s certainly an old painting. I know the place in this painting very well. It is a car park very close to my house. And although I don’t think it is a good painting I’m glad I painted it.
