I am an Architect in East London.Find me at www. stangerhouseplans.co.uk I work from home, mainly on domestic extensions and loft conversions.I also have a local painting studio: google Inky-cuttlefish in E17. My blog is about my recollections of art school in the 1990s, my progress or otherwise at the above-mentioned studio, about the e17 art trail which opens every September, and finally it is a chance to promote my architectural business

Perseus and Medusa.
Above, my best photograph of one of my juvenile oil paintings, at least 5 feet high, depicting Perseus holding the Medusa's head, and scattering his enemies, or rather those not already petrified. This reproduction gives some idea of the size of the canvas. The painting was produced from imagination, without models, with mixed results: for instance, the figure lying down in the extreme foreground never looks right, no matter how many times I look at it. The original is rolled up in my loft in E17, and must be encrusted with dust and dirt by now, since this painting is nearly twenty years old, and I have not seen it for many years.
