As with the previous oil study, this one is from the same spot along the Thames in St James’s Park, looking towards Buckingham Palace but a little more to the right.
I focused on the light filtering through the trees, where the walking path caught the sun and reflections on the water grew darker and more prominent. Thick palette knife strokes suggest the scene rather than describe it, with warmer tones hinting that autumn is approaching.
