In addition to my 'London in Landcsape' project, I’ve been privileged enough to sketch some other wonderful places in London, where I was based for well over a decade. This includes a project and exhibition at the Houses of Parliament in 2004 (see above), as well as being Artist in Residence at the Athenaeum (see below).

In 2005, very auspiciously,I was appointed as the ‘MCC Young Cricket Artist for 2005’ at Lord's to cover events over the year at the Lord’s Ground. This included Bangladesh’s first visit to the ‘Home of Cricket’ and the gripping first Ashes Test Match. I also recorded the refurbishment of the Pavilion as well as other unusual views around the pitch and behind the scenes of this very special place. All of the sketches at Lord’s appear in the book, ‘Tom Graveney at Lord’s – A Year at the Home of Cricket’, written by Stephen Fay and published by Methuen.

I've also had a variety of fascinating commissions. One of the most prestigious ones being that for the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust to present to Her Majesty the Queen. So somewhere in the Royal Collection you might just find the painting from my sketchbook below.....…..

But I’m always interested in new commissions. I’ve painted views of cherished homes and other places that have a special meaning to people, such as the old Arsenal Stadium. Please do
contact me if you are interested in having a painting of somewhere that is special to you…..
My sketchbook is a wonderful passport to people and places, as anyone can watch the process evolve during the day and then see the end result. This is great for giving talks and workshops inspired by my sketches and experiences of my travels, such as the workshops on my
Hadrian's Wall project, or the illustrated talk I gave about my world heritage journey at the
Globetrotter's Club. I will be presenting A Fellow Traveller at the
Globetrotter's Club on May 9th 2015. See Events on home page for more details.
