The title of the painting refers to Julia, who used to wait in the Tinley Hall Park Dairy, a café in Great Windmill Street when Mike worked at Rome Studios. John, the owner, in the centre of the painting, was a giant of a man, and he would cast a glare to any male that had his eyes on his very attractive daughter! Mike also pays homage to the American Realist, Ralph Going’s painting ‘Twin Springs Diner from 1977, with the figures on the left and includes Eric Scott on the right, his lifelong friend from a picture taken by Joe, his son, of Eric writing a letter to Mike whilst in the South of France village of Les Adrets. An image of the past and present of the influences in Mike’s life. How much of this is imagined or real?

We use the finest Hahnemühle Art Canvas for our canvas prints.
The Art Canvas Smooth is a natural white, poly-cotton canvas and guarantees archival standards.
With Mike’s images using a vivid, rich and bright colour palette the Hahnemühle Art Canvas Smooth meets the highest industry standards regarding density, colour gamut, colour graduation and image sharpness.
We use UV-stable inks to minimise print fading. Additionally, each canvas print we provide is coated with a UV and water-resistant top coat. This coating seals the ink and canvas, offering protection not only against sun damage and moisture but also against airborne contaminants.
All of our prints are carried out using UV stable pigment inks. These inks typically last much longer and are more resistant to fading than non-UV stable inks. This helps to preserve the quality of your art for decades to come.
