VenmoModern artist, used London and the bucolic country side as his muse. Clearly the London cityscape was his inspiration. He painted all the city sights: St. Paul's Cathedral, the Parliament, the Palace of Westminster, the Beefeaters at the Palace, the Victorian Memorial, Big Ben, the Monument and of course Trafalgar Square. These London landmarks are painted with affirming gestures in moody blues and graphic grays. His palette knife application technique, along with his brush work was applied in a quick layer over the oil underpainting. There is an appearance of buildup-so caked on, that the results look molten. This methodology created textured impressions right on the canvas. He combined architectural details with spontaneous happenings.
His color palette frequently includes red double-decker buses, Beefeater guards or flags that add balance to his moody paintings. In "St. Paul's Cathedral" below, Thorpe presents a rainy evening with reflections in the puddles as commuters rush to the bus stop. The shops along Ludgate Hill provide a glow that lights the street and the blue Jaguar joins the buses as they exit the underpass. The painting shows off Christopher Wren's Baroque Cathedral with its vaulted dome and carved pediment that is supported by Corinthian columns. He creates drama with areas of light and dark, and emphasizes the triumphant verticality of the cathedral with the dome and clock tower. In the shadow there is the Monument that remembers the great fire of 1666.
