So evocative, looking at the paintings again.Out and about in London we always found such inspiration! Every corner we turned or alleyway explored , or rooftop sunset gazed at! Reflections of fine buildings like St Pauls in wet pavements.It never mattered about the weather. I know how Anthony Eyton too, mentioned in another post here, helped to inspire us all, and still does.
I will return often to read more of these evocative posts, Thankyou 🙂

It’s my favorite view and I have the painting in my passage. Terry’s painting are beautiful.

We spoke briefly by telephone about eight years ago and attended his exhibition at the Guild Hall in London. The painting is in our lounge & causes much attention & conversation from visitors.

My husband John has very fond memories of being taught by Terry as a first year fine art student at Camberwell School of Art. They were based at the Wilson School annexe then. He remembers Terry as a lovely person and it’s great to see him still at his painting. Also, his trajectory into being an artist, really interesting. Terry can have a peek at what his former student has been up to…www.johndilnot.com

His drawings show faces of strength and character, often sadly lacking today.

The sand barges depicted at Prior’s Wharf in 1990 still ply between the Colne in Essex and Deptford Creek. Terry was a near neighbour of mine when I lived in Greenwich; he exhibits regularly – had a magnificent show at the Guildhall Art Gallery a few years back – and published a book in 2000: ‘Visions of Greenwich Reach – A Homage to the Working Thames’.
