This view of Bath’s main shopping street was painted during four or five sittings in February/March 1999. It started as an overcast painting, but during the last sitting the subject was transformed by a shaft of sunshine. The artist has written:

'I relish the variety of our British climate and … dramatic changes in the weather … with my attention being held by ever-changing and surprising light ... I love painting Milsom Street because of all the action – delivery vans coming and going, shoppers etc., and of course the top of Milsom Street was my favourite pitch for selling drawings!'
