Having worked in the City of London for many years I have found the inspiration for my painting in the life and buildings there. My method of working is 'plein air', sketching with pen and wash, trying to capture a liveliness which can only come with painting 'in the moment.

Les has worked in the Lloyd's of London insurance market for many years, during which time his interest in the history, life and buildings of London has developed. Currently he is working under the tutelage of Martin Shortis and Jeanette Barnes at The Princes Drawing School in Hoxton, on large scale perspective drawings of St Paul’s Cathedral and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
