The Happiest Place On Earth

Here's a view of Salisbury cathedral that most tourists don't get to see - and despite having visited the city countless times since moving to the area over 25 years ago, I didn't spot it either until this year. The street is St Ann's Street. Its mainly residential and on the edge of the quiet old part of the city. Of all the streets, this one happens to line up nicely with the spire. Based on my photos, I've painted this version in oil on a 12x16 inch board.

A city in England.

With the low winter light, the windows on these historic buildings in Salisbury (UK) created pools of light across the shady road. I've captured the scene here in oil on a 12x10 inch board. You may spot some brush marks!

I was looking for a view of Butcher Row / Fish Row in Salisbury (Wiltshire, UK) that gave it an extra something. I found it on a rainy day on a regular shopping trip, with the reflections on the flagstone paving. Ordinarily there is bunting criss-crossing the walkway, but I've not included that as I think it detracts from the marvelous old buildings. I painted this in oil on board 12x16 inches in size.

This is an image of the west facade of Salisbury Cathedral What a place; enormous in scale and divine in its decoration. This is a place that was built during the 13th century, so that's about 750–800 years ago. The spire is the tallest of any church in England with a height of 404 feet. I must admit that I really enjoy photographing old cathedrals; they have a majesty that is quite sublime. What gets me is the depth of faith that the people who toiled to build such a place must have had. Many would have probably worked on such a place all their working lives. A couple of interesting facts about the cathedral, because I've seem them, are it houses one of the four remaining copies of the Magna Carta and the world's oldest working cloc...

Salisbury (Wiltshire, UK) has had a lot of bad publicity lately (2018), so I thought it time I painted something of this beautiful city to redress the balance. The view I've chosen is the market place. During the day it can be full of market stalls, but at night they all disappear and you get to see the magnificent buildings around the square, and in particular this group of pubs, with their myriad lights reflected in the paving. I've painted this in oil on board 20x16 inches.

This oil painting is based on photo's I took in late Summer 2020 when things almost looked like normal for a while. Its a view of cafe life on the edge of Salisbury marketplace, where you can have tea and cake under the shade of the London plane trees whilst watching the world go by - and especially on Tuesdays and Saturdays when the adjacent market is trading. for me this is perhaps my most complicate composition to date with several complex elements to get right. Painted on a 20x16 inch board over the first week of Jan 2021.

A poster produced for Southern Railway (SR) to advertise rail travel to Salisbury, featuring a detailed painting of its Cathedral, 1932. - Please Note: These are old posters which means they were not always printed straight and level so please don't be surprised to see some slight angle differences around the edges of the adverts or some slight imperfections in the images. -

I have painted The Maltings - a shopping area of Salisbury (UK) before, showing a cafe at one end. I spotted this view sitting on a bench, eating a sandwich and watching the world go by on the many paths that cross the area. What appealed to me was the pool of light either side of the gnarled willow trunk, framed beautifully by the foliage and the shade on the ground. Painted in oil on a 16x12 inch board.

The marketplace in Salisbury, Wiltshire (UK) holds a market every Saturday and Tuesday (and has done for several centuries now). Its a vibrant place with stalls selling all manner of things. I've created this oil painting of a typical day at the market based on photographs taken earlier this year. Its taken quite a few hours to complete, but I'm pleased with the result. I hope you like it just as much.

Salisbury Cathedral on a summers day from town path.

Back in December 2021, this market stall in Salisbury was waiting its last trade before packing up for the day, and indeed for Christmas. With the light fading on a grey day, the gloaming was setting in, and people scurried home. Only I lingered to take the photo which provided my reference for this 12x12 inch oil painting.

I think of this oil painting as 'where did he get that hat?' For the thing that stands out for me is the top hat carried by the statue of Henry Fawcett. As it happens there is a stall selling hats in Salisbury charter market, so he may very well have found it there. I wonder how many people notice the statue, let alone find out anything about the prominent figure represented. With trees in early leaf (around April/May), and bins carefully omitted, the scene has for me a magical quality. Painted in oil on a 12x16 inch board.

orth Carolina patriot, Elizabeth Maxwell Steele, ran a tavern in Salisbury and was an ardent Whig patriot. On the morning of February 2nd, 1781, General Nathanael Greene stopped in the tavern after riding hard all night. He was weary and had just learned of the death of General William Davidson. Elizabeth gave him breakfast and then gave General Greene two bags of gold and silver that she had been saving. She told him, “take these, General, you need them and I can do without them.”
