Speke Hall scullery painting.














21cm x 14cm, acrylic on canvas board

One of the paintings of the scullery items in Speke Hall, probably a few more to follow as the place is a treasure trove of the things we used to use. I like the way the room was left, almost as if the staff would return to use it at any time.

I have a still life in the show at Editions on Cook Street

Speke Hall scullery




















I was out at Speke Hall today for a couple of hours and left alone to explore the scullery. I couldn't help but notice the almost Vermeer quality to the light as it shone on the stone range through the windows.





































We've just sent off our census but I was looking at the entry for April 3rd 1881 at the hall











5" x 5" carbon and acrylic

I'm not allowed to paint in the hall for obvious reasons, but I can take photos, make notes and draw.

Liverpool painting No.115. Speke Hall




















21cm x 14cm acrylic on canvas board, £90

This is probably the first of many studies to be painted at Speke Hall. As part of the painting Liverpool project, ‘May I Start, May I Finish’, I have managed to become artist in residence at the hall, so I’m really looking forward to doing some still life paintings of the interiors, as well as the grounds.
