Nocturne commissions now open. Your night, your street, your walk home, painted by me. If you’ve got a place you connect to, in Sheffield or beyond, I can turn it into a nocturne. Ever wanted a painting by me but nothing felt right? Tell me your thoughts. www.andycropper.art/commissions

Had a fantastic chat with Wayne Fallon (@waynefallon on Insta) about all things art, painting and more, for an upcoming audio podcast 'Careful, Art Everywhere'. He's known of me and my work since the early days of me doing portraits in the Winter Gardens back in 2009 (So very long ago!). Yay, art!

En Plein Air 23 - 'Corner' The last of the 7 Little London Road en plein air paintings. I weirdly found this incredibly difficult to do. However as a whole I think the set of 7 works, and in total I think they make for an interesting total composition #enpleinair #painting #paintbritain

Here we go here's the Little London Rd group updated to 6. Check andycropper.art/paintings for availability 2 m

En Plein Air 22 - 'Hinterland' check andycropper.art/paintings for availibility Really enjoyed the peace of this spot. It's very much a place in-between, yep, truly 'liminal', a word you'll mostly see me never use, I guess I'll make a post/ video about my hatred of the word some time. 😉

En Plein Air 21 - 'Quiet' - check andycropper.art/paintings for availibility From a hot day to a thankfully much cooler night, I returned to Little London Road to paint this contemplative view of the business hinterland. Apart from a few passers-by the road remained empty for most of the night.

Here's the Little London Road collection of paintings so far. First photo the order of being made, the second grouped by type. check andycropper.art/paintings for availability

En Plein Air 20 - 'Railings' - check andycropper.art/paintings for availability. I loved this one, more for what I couldn't achieve than for what I did. The light, tones and shadow changed so drastically on this piece it was really difficult to keep up with what was happening in front of my eyes.

A comparison of my two Little London Road railway bridge paintings - check andycropper.art/paintings for availability

En Plein Air 19 - 'Rest' - check andycropper.art/paintings for availability ... a video upload test (sorry for the lack of captions, I wanted to see what is available on the Bluesky side of things)

En Plein Air 19 - 'Rest' - check andycropper.art/paintings for availability Named'Rest' due to the words on the blocks this is a view of the other side of Little London Road railway bridge, or as one passerby shouted "Pigeon poop bridge"

Name: En Plein Air 18 - 'Forked Road + Light', 2026 check andycropper.art/paintings for availability Another painted view of Little London Road, Sheffield

En Plein Air 17 - 'Train Bridge' check andycropper.art/paintings for availability From the last 2 nights a view of the railway bridge at Little London Rd. Had some great conversations and thinking I'm going to head back to the same spot tonight. location: Little London Rd Bridge, Sheffield

'Kerb Daisies' I saw this little clump of flowers and not sure what it is exactly about them that chimes, but in the darkness of the night they stood out brightly. Will be in Cupola’s 35th Anniversary Exhibition Open: 10th July 7-9pm 11 Jul - 5 Sept Cupola 35th Birthday party Sun 30th Aug 2-6 pm

Not quite finished, with just one layer to go, here's my painting 'Kerb Daisies' a tightening up of my en plein air piece of the same name. Upper: 'Kerb Daisies', 2026 (almost finished) Lower: 'Roundabout', 2026 #nocturne #citypainting #AtNight #contemporarypainting #LAOTY

Out again, doing what I do. At the same spot as last time but this time looking the other way. It's been a beautiful dayvhere in Sheffield hope it's been the same your way too. Ax #enpleinair #painting #paintbritain #NocturnePainting #laoty

En Plein Air 15 - 'Roundabout II'- check andycropper.art/paintings for availability The weather was wonderful and had a chat with the Police🚨. All good, someone was restless about me painting where I was. I like how gestural this one is, and I think I captured the feel quite well.

Hi everyone Art sales haven't been great this year, it's been tough for everyone. I'm putting it out to the ether; I'm looking for part-time work here in Sheffield. Any ideas or 'head's up' give me a nudge in my dms. Also, we've moved! Here's me in our new garden Andy x 🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿

Another night, another roundabout! This time I'm with this roundabout in Norton. Thankfully it's a beautiful night, and the weather is gorgeous. Let's hope I can do it justice. #enpleinair #painting #paintbritain #NocturnePainting #laoty

New!!! En Plein Air 14 - 'Trash Bunny', - check andycropper.art/paintings for availability A slightly surreal moment... a white soil bag stood luminous by the side of this path. Alice's White Rabbit or something way more sinister? #enpleinair #painting #paintbritain #NocturnePainting #laoty

David Attenborough voice; Spotted in the wild, the rare albino giant hare 😉 #nocturne #painting #cityscape #enpleinair #Sheffield

New!!! En Plein Air 13 - 'Kerb Daisies', - check andycropper.art/paintings for availability I've hadto take 2 weeks off, as we've moved house! Anyway, I'm back on the streets painting a more gentle view. Hope you guys like. #enpleinair #painting #paintbritain #NocturnePainting #laoty

Hi folks, have had to be away from social media as a lot has been happening, however I'm back on the streets, literally, tonight. Let's see how this one progresses. Images tomorrow ❤️ #nocturne #painting #cityscape #enpleinair #Sheffield

En Plein Air 10 - 'Hill View' see andycropper.art/paintings for availability A glorious spot on Woodbank Cres., Meersbrook. Reminiscent of my painting looking over Sheffield from Meersbrook Park there was a big difference in both the warm weather, and the colour change in the sky. I saw foxes! 🦊🦊🦊

New!! En Plein Air 09 - 'Traffic Lights' - check andycropper.art/paintings for availability A fun night this one. I had a good number of people stop by and chat 👋😉 I had my work cut out with this one. The colours in the painting are rough approximations as I use a limited palette.

2nd night of my '7 Nights, 7 Paintings' part 2... as well as bus stops, I often get bewitched by the strangeness of traffic lights. So yes, I'm sat painting traffic lights. Not going to lie I think this might be a tricky one to pull off. Wish me luck 👍

EPA 08 - 'Busstop 2' See andycropper.art/paintings for availability '7 Night's, 7 Paintings' pt 2 Another painting, another busstop, this time this may be a bit more familiar to folks. I had to do this in 2 parts due to wind and rain, but I don't think it's harmed the painting. What do you think?
