The Radcliffe Camera and St. Mary’s Oxford

The Radcliffe Camera in Oxford is an irresistible subject for me, and is one of the finest buildings in the world .This angle is from Catte Street, and shows the church of St Mary the Virgin behind. I have tried to leave the painting understated and in doing so have deliberately lost the ground level so that the buildings float upwards like castles in the air. Perhaps that’s how I see them, I’m always looking upwards in Oxford, away from the human activities at ground level towards the timeless and abstract.
