“Church Row, Hampstead”

I’ve had this painting on the wall in my own office. I’m letting it go, to make room for something else. I posted it on Instagram and LinkedIn, and was gratified by the responses:

• “My favourite neighbourhood in the world” – Joanna Rakoff, author of My Salinger Year
• “Very atmospheric. Reminds me of my childhood” – Charmian Spencer
• “Nice job!” – Robert Twigger, author of Angry White Pyjamas
• “Gorgeous” – Paul Treacy, photographer
• “It’s beautiful John-Paul” – Marie Smith, leadership and development coach
• “This is beautiful!” – Ilona King, psychotherapist
• “I love this! It’s like you’ve told a story with paint 😊” – Rin Hamburgh, copywriter
• “You are a magician, capturing a beautiful scene for eternity – really lovely!” – Yukie Paine
• “I sang in this church for years and you’ve just brought back evensong to me ❤️” – Maddy Holmes, lyric soprano
• “👏👏” – Estelle Lovatt, “People’s Art Critic” on Talk TV
