Church of St Mary, Cambridge




The picture of the interior of St Mary's in Cambridge was conceived in 2006 on my second visit to the extraordinairy Cambride Folk Festival. It was only completed at the end of 2012 as before I did not have the courage to wrestle with colour, perspective and and clair/obscure of this magnificent building.
With the help of my experienced art teacher Peter Britsia and the inspirations from Jan Hart's book on exceptional colours including a late sleepless hour at one in the morning the picture finally was completed. caputing a bit of the serenity and calm openness of this enlightened sanctuary.
