The Thames at Barnes

The Thames at Barnes
Oil on Canvas, 2007. This has been a troublesome piece to finish, remaining 'on the easel' for a long time. At this stage it is finally close to completion, there are just a few issues to resolve with the reflections and the bridge. One interesting phenomenen with this piece is that it looks completely different depending on the light conditions, almost as though it is following the time of day.
