Ghosts of Old Spitalfields

The most recent painting came about after I did some research into family history in London's East End, and I mused over the pointlessness of it.

The painting is based on old photos - thanks to the excellent website 'The Ghosts of Old Spitalfields' (http://www.spitalfieldslife.com/2010/12/26/the-ghosts-of-old-london/)  and shows streets empty of people.
