Paintings now on show around London

I have five paintings hanging at the moment in London. The two below are at the Royal Watercolour's Autumn show Watercolour Secrets at the Bankside Gallery next to the Tate Modern until November 1st. I was delighted to see that they had been hung in an excellent position close to the entrance of the gallery above the reception desk, on either side of an excellent painting of Neon Road to Damascus II by Denis Ryan:

Down in the Dulwich Picture Gallery three of my paintings have been selected for the Friends Open Exhibition. Unfortunately I haven't seen them up yet as I went to the Private View on the wrong day - totally my fault! I'll get down before it closes on Sunday 12th October. Patriot Bar, Chambers Street, NY was shortlisted for a prize.
