Hot Summer’s Day at Hampstead Pond This 12″x10″ painting was executed on a perfect summer’s day, (one of the very few we had in 2015)! It was one of several I did during the course of the day and this one seemed to have a sparkle about it that I wanted to capture.
Tower Bridge Early Morning 12 x 10″ This is one of several studies I have made of Tower bridge early on a Sunday morning. Momentary changes in the light conditions are very noticeable on the water as is tidal movement. I have not worked out yet why water levels can vary so substantially from one…
