The painting trip to Varanasi has sharpened me up to the colours of London! I was lucky enough to arrive back just as spring was beginning. Spring brings very subtle colours and I've been seeking out the electric, bright ones in the spectrum.
On Saturday I pastelled the Chelsea crowds at Stamford Bridge. The light was fantastic and the blues on the Souvenir stand were magnificent

The noise from the stands as Chelsea scored 6-nil win was deafening. Nothing could prepare me for the crowds leaving the stadium into the brightly lit Fulham road. It was rather quieter than I was expecting but the atmosphere was fantastic.

The light in march has been good and there have been some great sunrises and sunsets.

Even when the light is dull and fading, the flowers glow.
