Nick Botting
Nick Botting is a well-known English painter who loves to paint 'en plein air.' He has been known to set up his easel anywhere from the middle of an intersection to the roof of a car. His paintings are concerned with capturing small moments in time and preserving them, and the people in them, for the viewer's voyeuristic pleasure.
