Nicholas Borden’s New Paintings
Petticoat Lane
Nicholas Borden is the hardiest artist I know. When I met him in January two years ago, he was standing at a easel on Valance Rd in a blizzard. One afternoon last December, I came upon him painting on Shaftesbury Av just as the dusk was falling and everyone else was hurrying for the tube. Then yesterday I went round to Nicholas’ ice cold flat, where it is necessary to wear your coat indoors, and he showed me the pictures he has been working on while the rest of us were huddled in the chimney corner.

Very nice!
I don’t suppose prints are available of his work, are they? I would love to have that image of Regent’s Canal on my office wall…
Lovely stuff Nicholas!
Your lovely drawing of the old bank wot hangs on my wall continues to give great pleasure.
Just think, when you are famous your proper history as a starving artist has been properly documented here.

Wonderful paintings, so full of life and movement. Valerie
Beautiful bursts of colour in the gloom. I would love a print or two as well.
Reminds me to the folk paintings of the 60s — is once again worth seeing today!
Love & Peace

Lovely pictures.
BTW – re: ‘Nicolas’ ice-cold flat, where it is necessary to wear your coat indoors’.
It wasn’t so long ago that everyone had cool (or downright chilly) homes with one fire and wore woollies. Wool is what winter is for. A good jumper and some socks, in wool, are cheaper than having central heating on.
Beautiful. I love the play of sunlight and shadows on the buildings on Charing Cross Rd.
I think ‘being hardy’ is one of the key phrases to describe. This, an artist who seems (an untrained eye that I probably have ) to be alive in these wonderful paintings. Thankyou for such truly living depictions. I feel as if I am there in spitalfields. The more I look, the more I am drawn to these paintings.
Reminds me to the folk paintings of the 60s — is once again worth seeing today! Great work!

What a treat !!! I especially love the Charing Cross Road paintings . They remind me of my first trip to London in the seventies. Worked in a tiny shop on Charing Cross Road. I’m feeling very nostalgic right now. Thank you Nicholas Borden and of course the gentle author .
A Serious artist! Deep. Thank you. My favourite is Brushfield Street. Keep your spirits high Mr. Borden.
Nicholas – your paintings bounce off the page. So full of colour and life! They are beautiful.
