Last night Albany Wiseman and Robin Ollington met up at Curwen Gallery  to discuss the success of last month's exhibition "Garden Squares of London". The exhibition, originally the brainchild of Robin Ollington, was a study of many beautiful garden squares of London by the celebrated watercolourist, Albany Wiseman.

Albany Wiseman, Manchester Square, £875, SOLD

Over the course of the year Albany visited 23 squares with his fold up easel, painting from life in watercolour.Albany was exceptionally dilligent, working in rain, shine and snow, to produce a wonderful exhibition which documents many of the hidden residential areas of London.

 Yesterday, when I met them both for a photo shoot for Garden Square News magazine, both were full of life and discussing their next project together, an exhibition of the watercolour illustrations from their book "Tommy Atkins Goes to War".
