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

Twenty Years On ( with apologies to Alan Bennett )
I have just hauled this painting ( pictured below) out of the loft, and taken it down to the studio for restoration. It looks dreadful.. The glowing colours are no more, and it is grimy, dusty, and flat.Worse, 20 years on, it looks crude, clumsy, and amateurish. What I saw in it all those years ago God alone knows. However, the plan is to re-stretch it and have another go. I can't wait. It should be fun, which is the spirit in which it was painted in the first place.
