Teaching to earn a living forced me to divide up my week between two places. To gain a small advantage from this situation I started some double pictures. I made the same picture twice (working from the same area of a postcard over the same period) in Wolverhampton and in London, bringing the paintings together only at the finish as a single piece whose twin compositions revealed a subtle variance of mood and emphasis.
