London and Early Influences

Recently been to London visiting galleries which was great seeing a few of my favourite artists; Augustus John, Ceri Richards, Turner, Renoir and a lot more. But the best achievement, after walking what felt miles, was seeing a WHOLE wall full of Van Gogh's at the "The National Gallery". Amazing.

When seven I was introduced to "Messy" oil pastels, I attempted many times to copy his work through books. I've had the pleasure of finding one, just for laughs here it is. A poor attempt of the painting "Church at Auvers" (which is sadly not located at the "The National Gallery"), still good too look back in time.
