Painting a football club scene is always a unique challenge. This week, I’ve been working on a piece featuring Bedford Town FC, a club from the National League North. Bedford is less than 30 miles from where I live, yet it’s a place I’ve rarely visited. I’ve only been there once or twice in my life, so this project has given me a fresh perspective on a local area I don’t know well. The painting process has been interesting, with some unexpected hurdles along the way.

Cambridge City F.C. has always held a special place in my heart. As a local football club, it represents more than just the game; it’s part of the community’s fabric. Yet, for years, I hesitated to paint the club because they lacked a permanent home. After leaving their historic City Ground on Milton Road, the team played at St Ives Town and Histon F.C. Now, they have finally settled into a new stadium in Sawston. This move inspired me to create the painting.

The art world is facing a growing challenge. As AI-generated art becomes more common, many artists and collectors worry about the loss of authenticity and the unique value of human-created works. Recently, a BBC article highlighted a backlash against AI in the arts sector and called for an internationally recognized symbol to clearly mark whether a piece of art is human-made or computer-generated. This idea resonates deeply with me. I have already designed my own "No to AI Ge

Abbey Stadium has stood as a familiar landmark in Cambridge for decades. Recently, I completed a new painting of this iconic home ground of Cambridge United. While visiting the stadium to take preparatory photos, I noticed that not much had changed in the eight years since my last painting. The stadium still carries the same character, with the forecourt cluttered by a hand carwash that gives it a somewhat cluttered, almost Steptoe’s yard feel. Being born less than two miles

Creating art that connects with a place and its people brings a unique satisfaction. Recently, I completed a painting of Histon FC’s stadium, a project I had wanted to do for a long time. This painting is more than just a depiction of a football ground; it reflects the local spirit and personal stories that make the club and its surroundings special to me. Why Histon FC Inspired Me Histon FC is not just a football club; it’s part of the local community I live in. Every time I

West Ham United F.C Boleyn Tavern Pub.

This retro painting of Central Park captures the spirit of a bygone era when the stadium was alive with history and atmosphere. As a fan who grew up watching the mighty Wigan on TV during the 1980s, I understand the deep connection people have with these classic grounds.

In recent weeks I have started to paint the teams of the NFL. I've never really watched that much American Football, as we call it in England. It's been a real eye opener doing my research on the teams, locations and stadia. I was firstly surprised at the age of the stadia in use. Only 4 of the 32 teams of the NFL play in a stadium older than myself (1974). 19 of the 32 teams play in stadia constructed in this millennium. The vast majority of the stadiums are what would be cl
