About The Artwork
King George V, the first of the GWR's 4-6-0 King Class, was built in 1927 and became one of the most successful steam locomotives in the world. In that year she visited America, taking part in the centenary celebrations of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. It was from them she received her famous commemorative bell. This has been stolen from time to time. On one occasion the bell was stolen and recovered from London's Serpentine lake! The engine is shown at Old Oak Common, London. She was withdrawn from service in 1962 having by then run 1,910,424 miles. She is preserved at Swindon, England. The work is presented in a domed black lacquer frame. NB: Though described on this site as 'acrylic on wood', this work was actually painted in acrylic on a gessoed panel. The panel is made of hardboard, known in the US as Masonite.

United Kingdom
I paint industrial architecture, townscapes, landscapes, portraits and still life. Many pictures are based on London buildings, some of which - most of which come to think of it - have since been demolished, though not as a direct result of depiction. My interest in industrial architecture stems from the fact that I used to paint outdoors, in front of the scene itself. One of the few places you could do this without being disturbed was on derelict industrial wasteland - brown field sites as they're now called. If you paint in public places passers-by constantly interrupt. They look over your shoulder at what you're doing and say things like: 'My Nigel draws....'
