I don't do many sketches, drawings, or pen and ink, but occasionally get asked to do one, so try my best. Much prefer painting.

I painted many scenes of Wapping in London, but was always reluctant to do drawing unless asked to for a commission. Here is one of my rare drawings.

Wapping High Street, showing Pier Head, and the famous Town of Ramsgate Public House, Men pressed ganged into serving on ships and convicts destined for transportation to the Colonies, were held in cellars at the pub. Execution Dock was situated nearby. Men were hanged then chained to posts in the river, the tide rising over them three times before their bodies were removed. It was on Wapping Old Stairs, next to the pub, in 1688, that Judge Jeffries (the Hanging Judge) was captured whilst trying to flee the country dressed as a sailor. painted in oils on a 24 by 12 inch canvas

I painted this small 8 by 10 inch canvas for the late Historian and Author, Madge Darby. It recently came to light, when the landlord of the Town of Ramsgate pub seen here, showed it to me and said he was given it by Madge Darby's nephew after she died. Another lost painting of mine has come to light, and you can share it with a print
