The 'Good Queen Esther'















The large nursery commission I finished recently, (not the greatest of scans)...as usual there are lots of personal touches, pertinent to the baby - in this one there are so many I wrote a little letter of explanation to the tiny recipient, for when she is older. The commissioner particularly wanted a London Routemaster bus, although the Mayor has just finished replacing the aging fleet with 'bendy buses'. The skyline is a *bit* inaccurate - the Gherkin pops up where it shouldn't' be - it is just supposed to represent some of the more famous attractions of the capital. The national colours of green, white and orange are Hungarian. Yet again one of my paintings is traveling to a far off country...this time I am going with it, (albeit in paint only) with Pumpkin, the youngest member of our cat family...
