I recently spent a lovely day in Liverpool just exploring the amazing views and taking photos. St. Johns Gardens is just behind St Georges Hall and is a small memorial park. Very quiet and peaceful away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city. I really love these reflective spaces, especially within the confines... Continue Reading →
This was a lovely commission that I have recently finished. I don't usually take on commissions as the expectation from the client often differs from that of the Artist.
