River Thames in Winter
I painted this last winter. I have posted it today because it features in an article I wrote on plein air painting in winter that has just been published in The Artist magazine.
Its quite big for a plein air painting, 20 x 36 inches on stretched linen, and it was painted in a single rather cold session.
Above: A very early stage in the painting. I have very roughly blocked in the main areas of the composition.

The painting above is for sale at £2,000. Contact me for more details.
explores Diana's art and life through her wonderful paintings and her own words.

Cracking good painting Roy, especially considering the size en plein air – very brave!

Thanks, Peter. I often find that working on a large scale when its cold is easier than working on something small and fiddly.
