Nicholas Borden’s Spring Paintings
Thanks to this year’s mild spring weather, these are the pictures that Nicholas Borden has painted on the street since the batch I published in January. Hardy and industrious in equal degree, Nicholas has wrought a fresh vision of the urban landscape that is painterly, atmospheric and entirely personal.

~ All these canvases were done this year !!
~ What an amazingly prolific painter!! ~
I especially love “Off the Strand.”
I feel like I could just step right into that image and continue down the street.
It does seem that you have a large population of artists nearby ~ So wonderful~
Maybe, someday in the future, I will find my way there and be one of them.
Love all your posts, particularly the reminiscent ones. And of course, Huguenot, given my name. Tweeting about Nicholas’ distinctive style in these paintings.
Great pictures, so well observed. Thanks for bringing this to the fore, I love this artist. Your blog is so varied and captures the heart of each topic succinctly without fail. I read it with anticipation everyday.
These are so lovely. I’m wondering if any of them are for sale.
Paintings that are easy and uncomplicated to connect with and somehow make you feel good.The more we see of these scenes the better they stay in our memory,well done Nicholas Borden.
More wonderful work from Mr Borden…I especially like the colours in Christ Church and the old man in Bloomsbury. Thank you GA for these latest images from a very talented artist.
Wow !!! I love them !!! Feeling a bit nostalgic right now !!!
