Grand Union Canal
7"X5" Acrylic on boardAnyone who has been following this blog may have noticed that I haven't posted anything for a couple of months.
Believing as I do in truth in advertising, I stopped calling this a "daily painting blog" some time ago, but I really did mean to continue with a "two or three times a week blog". I have been doing some sketching, and I am working on a linocut, but generally I am just uninspired, I really need to move in a new direction.
However, I did shoot a few pictures during my brief visit to London last month and I hope to take some paintings from them over the next couple of weeks, before I lose the mood.
The Grand Union Canal
connects London and Birmingham. This section is somewhere in North Kensington, lots of houseboats along here, all apparently inhabited and in running order. It might be an interesting way to live in the heart of the city but I wonder what it is like in the winter. My sister lived in one about 40 years ago, I seem to remember that it was pretty damp.
Pretty small too I imagine Sarah...but it would be lovely to move around on the water! Good to see you painting)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Sarah!This is a lovely painting with wonderful light.The boats are well done. I always thought I might enjoy living on a boat, but I think I am over it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam & Catherine, I really will try harder to get some stuff done.
