About The Artwork
Eventide at Newport Beach, a coastal city in southern California. Newport has its Ferris wheel, its piers, its ‘fun’ zone, its boat-filled harbour, its big, big waves, and its quieter moments, moments when a gull might spread its wings and contemplate doing its bit to make sure gull numbers don’t decline. And a passer-by might pause, look out to sea, and reflect that the California current moves ceaselessly south along the west coast of North America in its clockwise circulation of the northern hemisphere - give or take an eddy or two - and that the Pacific is the world’s deepest ocean, down, down over six-and-a-half miles in places, places you certainly don’t want to go, and that this one body of water is larger than the total land area of planet Earth. Yes, that’s North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, the lot, bigger than all of them stuck together, end to end. And, given that a pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter, well, don’t even think about getting out the scales. Yep, that’s the Pacific, big, heavy and wet. NB: Though described on this site as 'oil on wood', this work is actually painted in oils on a gessoed panel. The panel is made of hardboard, known in the US as Masonite.

United Kingdom
I paint industrial architecture, townscapes, landscapes, portraits and still life. Many pictures are based on London buildings, some of which - most of which come to think of it - have since been demolished, though not as a direct result of depiction. My interest in industrial architecture stems from the fact that I used to paint outdoors, in front of the scene itself. One of the few places you could do this without being disturbed was on derelict industrial wasteland - brown field sites as they're now called. If you paint in public places passers-by constantly interrupt. They look over your shoulder at what you're doing and say things like: 'My Nigel draws....'
