I seem to like this perspective, even though its a major challenge to get right, it is so satisfying seeing the painting take shape. Its fun imagining what each person or little group might be up to for the day. The main colour palette was muted with pops of colour here and there to guide the viewer's eye across the painting.

I am delighted to be selected for the Jackson’s Art Prize Extended Longlist 2025 with this painting.

Home Cross is a finalist in the 2025 British Art Prize and will be on show in the OXO Gallery in November 2025.
