Sherlock Holmes’ famous haunt, <strong>the</strong><br />
street today is a high traffic bustle. I was<br />
interested in <strong>the</strong> sun streaming into <strong>the</strong><br />
tall-sided street, how to best represent<br />
<strong>the</strong> spears <strong>of</strong> light that span out from<br />
<strong>the</strong> sun against <strong>the</strong> dark shade <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
buildings. Van Gogh’s sun <strong>paintings</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> use <strong>of</strong> directional brushwork to<br />
sum up emanating light is an influence<br />
here <strong>and</strong> has been in terms <strong>of</strong> a subject<br />
<strong>and</strong> technique for several years. The<br />
blur <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> iconic double-decker red<br />
bus driving past is effective for <strong>the</strong><br />
subject matter.
