On a trek across London, I visited the Millenium Dome (the world’s most expensive tent) in Greenwich, which is currently exhibiting some ancient Egyptian relics and artwork etc. Just outside the dome someone had decided that a more modern approach was required to entice people in to see the exhibition… 3000+ years of human progress gave us a brightly painted wooden pyramid and a stainless steel needle with an aesthetically pleasing twist. The major difference of course, is that these works of modern art are only intended to advertise the exhibition and are really quite clever at making a statement. Of course the artists involved were almost certainly given only a few months in which to create their masterpieces, whereas the Egyptian artists were expected to take much longer and probably subjected to .. err.. shall we say, more Intense contractual obligations (you can guess the sort of thing – “Create something worthy of pharaoh the living god… or Die” ). Hmmm .. come to think of it, I’ve had a few commisions like that myself. Lol. Still it did make for an interesting picture and I liked the contrast between ancient and modern, I hope you do too. The Image below illustrates how a framed print would look

The Shepherd Gate Clock is mounted in the wall outside the Greenwich Observatory. It was the first clock to show Greenwich Mean Time to the public. It is a slave clock that keeps time by recieving electric (galvano-magnetic, as it was then called) pulses from a master clock in the Observatory. It has a twenty-four hour analogue dial with Roman Numerals and the addition of a zero (Romans did not use Zero)to mark midnight. With the coming of the railway, Sir George Airy wanted to standardise the many local times that were in use in the country at the time. In 1849, Charles Shepherd of 53 Leadenhall Street, London, had patented a system for controlling a network of Master and slave clocks using electricity. He had installed the Master, Slave Clocks and Time Ball at Greenwich by August 1852. The Slaves here worked with pulses received every second. Pulses were also sent to another Master at London Bridge which then passed them on at a lesser frequency to clocks all around the country. By 1866, time signals were being sent to Harvard University, USA, via transatlantic cable.

Ice cream @ Greenwich Park This is an original and very funny large watercolour painting / of an ice cream van which I painted a year ago. There’s a lot of detail and some interesting imagery to keep you amused for quite some time. Would look better in a large frame, but would make a wonderful card. Enjoy!

Installed into a private residence in an Art Deco apartment block. Specific paramaters to the commission were a limitation on colour and the use of obscured glasses to cut out the neighbouring rooftop. Really enjoyed the challenge.

The Greenwich foot tunnel is a pedestrian tunnel crossing beneath the River Thames in South East London, linking the London Borough of Greenwich in the south with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to the north. It was designed by civil engineer Sir Alexander Binnie for London County Council, and was constructed by contractor John Cochrane & Co; the project started in June 1899 and the tunnel was opened on 4 August 1902.

In the central quadrangle of Wren’s Old Royal Naval College at Greenwich stands a statue of George II by John Michael Ruysbrack. Carved in stone, this swaggering composition includes an orb and sceptre, a magnificently flowing robe and a convenient classical semi-column for the king to lean on. Given the good ol’ HDR treatment.

The Prime Meridian is the line at 0º longitude from which both International and Universal time is measured on Earth. The line runs through the centre of the Peter Harrison Planetarium at The Royal Observatory, Greenwich and is shown here running through the roof which is angled to point directly at the North Star and match the plane of the Universal Equator. /
