London Collection of Four Paintings Painting

This is a set of four paintings, each framed and measuring 90 x 62 cm, depicting London in the morning, afternoon, evening and night. London is the metropolis where I grew up as an adult, and in these paintings, I have depicted the different ways it affects me during different times of the day. The morning picture reflects the pressure of the rush hour as the city is waking up. In the afternoon, the mood is hectic, reflected by the use of green and yellow. In the evening, this mood subsides, replaced by a sense of winding down and peacefulness, and this is reflected in the pleasing colours of the sunset and in the depiction of more leisure-related areas of the city. The night-time also looks peaceful, but the lights are still on, reminding us that this is a city that never sleeps.
