					<description><![CDATA[The Head of the River is synonymous with student life in Oxford, although a little up market for my student budget. I lived on the Abingdon road, so was a short walk from Folly bridge and the head of the river. Read the artist's thoughts on this colourful interpretation of a contemporary Oxford landmark.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Liverpool Street Station Rooftop Reflection For the Love of Trains Railways have always held a fascination for me. Growing up close enough to a branch line, I&#8217;d hear the distant rattle of wheels on passing trains on summer days. Not close enough for it to be a nuisance, as it was in our first flat [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Artistic Reflection on Peace &#8211; HMS Belfast, at Night Cruising the Thames at Night When I wander around a city, I seldom think of war or conflict. For this I&#8217;m fortunate and not insensitive to the privilege or that I&#8217;m unaware of current conflicts. No, it&#8217;s just that, in typical everyday life, when you wander [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Some Paintings are meant to be . The Weight of the Eye is a painting that wanted to be. A chance finding of a sculpture, as my children played in a park, led to the photograph I used to create it. The image spoke to me, as did the colours. Once I started painting.

					<description><![CDATA[There are three punting places in Oxford, two in the city centre and Cherwell boathouse to the North, 
Cherwell boathouse is, to my mind, the only place for punting. It's peaceful and chaotic. There are punts and canoes and rowing boats, but no larger boats and no power boats. It's beautiful, calm and relaxing then, occasionally the pole sticks in the mud and a drama begins. Will the punter fall in or not?]]></description>

When I first started working as an artist, I happily used any frame. How I learnt from this mistake and found the perfect frame.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wherever you are in Oxford, you see the mediaeval. Whether it's a glimpse along the rooftops or full Gothic architecture, with carved stone gargoyles, crenellations and cobbled courtyards. With a city as old as Oxford, it's only natural. So why is this called Carfax tower?]]></description>
