I did this little painting of a dumper truck last week. They are building a huge new shopping mall in the centre of Cardiff, the building work has been going on for some time now and I believe it's due to be finished in 2009. I see it gradually taking shape every time I go into town. So I thought it would be interesting to paint something a bit different. I was quite inspired by this big dumper truck and with the leaning one way sign and the digger in the background it was one of those ready made scenes where everything just fits together like it could be from the Renaissance even though the subject matter is contemporary. I shall probably do some more paintings of this building work as time goes on, it makes a change from painting still-lifes of fruit and lends itself very well to alla-prima painting.Now available as a
