“I’m happy with that. Having covered many subjects over the years one of my favourites is London. My paintings are often an attempt to paint a memory. Whether rough sleeping in the city, or in better times on the coast, I’ve always painted with emotion. My pictures are often lonely. When there’re people, I sometimes like to be one of them. For example, I’m sitting at a table in Close Enough for Jazz (rain). Others may be people I once knew. ” - Jonathan Stewerdson
