I have a friend who told me when she saw this painting she imagined that she was sitting in a food hall surrounded by friends. The image, to her, was from the perspective of someone who has food and beer and good company. Someone leaning back and looking up happily at the sky through the skylight.
This is a quick alla prima study of my home in the snow, painted on board. The board was formerly packing for furniture, which is why the dimensions of the image are a little odd...
This painting is based on a photo that I took while I was heading to Rochdale from Halifax on a sunny October morning in 2025. His bright yellow suit in the autumn sun was too much to resist grabbing a picture and then painting it.

For me this is a place full of meaning. The chair and the bookcase were constand presences
