Creating in water colours, Rodgers passionately paints what he knows and growing up in northern England, rain was bound to play a huge part in his scenic views.

Despite this image being universally depicted by many artists, Rodgers manages to create a new take on a scene in which we may have come across ourselves many a time.

Reflecting the passersby in the soaked streets creates a fantastic scene for portraying various shapes and sizes of figures within the pavements of London. This is a truly unique and fresh take on the city and is an excellent start for Rodgers new releases.
