“I painted the majority of the cityscapes during the late winter/early spring. I favour this transitional time of year for scenes of London because the quality of light is interesting to me. The changeable weather adds a degree of mystery to familiar places and prospects.” Michael Alford
“The attraction to painting nudes is that it’s so difficult to get it right. You need correct draughtsmanship, colour, tone. You have to understand anatomy, even though you’re not really painting it.” — Michael Alford
Michael Alford is pleased to announce his upcoming show at Wimbledon Fine Art. This major exhibition of over 30 new works includes examples of the artist’s trademark nudes and London cityscapes as well as seasonal beach scenes. A unique series of plein air oil sketches, painted exclusively for this show, highlight views of Wimbledon Common and The Village.
