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.

Wigan Warriors have long been a symbol of passion and pride in rugby league. Their former home, Central Park, holds a special place in the hearts of many supporters. 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.
