Peta has finished two more of her amazing pictures. The first, of bellringers in Southwark, London, is painted with ink and shows intricate details and has great depth of field.
The second, of a turnip stall in Borough Market, also Southwark, with the vegetables looking real. One could reach out and touch the feathery mushroom caps on and smell the herbs.
Fantastic paintings, Peta, well done!
Peta’s sketches of independent London shops have been published online on the Spitalfields Life website. Drawn in pencil then coloured in brown, black and blue ink, the subject evokes life as it was with independent shops on every High Street.
They’re fantastic sketches, Peta, you have such an amazing skill with a pencil and brush.
Good luck with your exhibition that opens this week in London!

Peta has had her sketches of several City of London Churches published on the website ‘Spitalfields Life’. Beautifully and skilfully sketched in pencil and then coloured with soft tones of black, blue and brown inks, she has masterfully captured the atmosphere and tiny details of these churches and related items.
