Towards Chelsea bridge, late summer

A spectacular, highly atmospheric river study defining the shifting weight of light and fluid velocity of the Thames looking towards Chelsea Bridge. Executed with immediate, medium-free No. 12 hog brushwork directly fresh from the easel, the 40×50 cm composition organizes the distant urban architecture and bridge spans into blocky, interlocking slabs of coppery-pink and warm ochre. Grounded by a heavy, gestural Victorian streetlamp anchor flank and a vast foreground water runway of vertically dragged sky reflections, the canvas stands as a visceral triumph of pure oil texture.
