Original artwork description:

This original painting of London captures a breathtaking view of Park Street, a charming cobblestone street lined with historic buildings and adorned with hanging flower baskets, leading towards the River Thames. The Anchor Bankside, a famous pub with a red brick façade, stands proudly at the end of the street, and in the distance, the imposing Shard skyscraper towers over the scene. People walking along the cobblestone street, enjoying the charming sights and sounds of the city. The bustling street is filled with shoppers and tourists walking into London. The warm colors of the buildings create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with brick, wood, and stone textures providing depth and contrast. The flowers hanging from baskets and the trees add a touch of nature to the urban landscape, creating a harmonious blend between man-made and natural elements. As the street leads towards the river, the view opens up, and the Anchor Bankside comes into full view. The red umbrellas and wooden furniture add a pop of color to the scene, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
The Shard skyscraper looms over the scene, its glass façade reflecting the light and colors of the surrounding buildings. Its sharp lines and towering height create a sense of grandeur and modernity, contrasting with the historic and traditional architecture of the area. Overall, the painting is a stunning tribute to the beauty and diversity of London's urban landscape.

This painting was exhibited at The Gallery Holt in Norfolk in January 2023.
