as an elderly white male with a RP English accent Shepherds Bush market is not the easiest place to be accepted. After several weeks of daily sketching and countlerss cups of tea and long conversations I got to know some of the market and its stall holders. I teneded to work in the Northern ( Uxbridge Rd) stretch of the market

from reams of drawings and sketches I was able to produce a series of works illustrtaing aspects of market life

I printed two long panaromas of market life, using a bit of licence with geography the prints showed a variety of stalls with their stall holders and customers

I also etched en plein aire

i also worked hard to capture the essence of the market variety and decided on a simple format

I continue to draw and exmaine the market as my market protfolio grows and grows,
