While travelling into Bristol on the Park and Ride bus from Long Ashton, I saw this view up towards Clifton Wood in Bristol and that was the inspiration for this painting.
I had a clear vision in my mind of what the painting should look like and I wanted to capture only the buildings themselves and not be concerned about the trees above and below the many different coloured houses. I must admit I struggled to get the composition just right while capturing the essence of the structures and balance the many colours together so that there remained a freshness to the scene.
This painting was the first I had painted that was twice as large as I would normally paint, I wanted to capture the horizontal size and detail that the buildings deserved and did not forget the washing lines!
