The weather in the last year in the UK has been nothing short of appalling. There are only so many winter scenes or rainy landscapes an artist can cope with. Yes, this last year would have even challenged the great Turner. I have to say though the last week things are slowly moving to a more positive aspect. OK the odd torrential downpour though certainly better.
I am currently working on a commission of three Thames side views so this is certainly a welcome change.
Even at the tiniest hint of a bit of warmth the British are out in lighter clothes. I managed to grab a few in pencil as they went past. They certainly looked like they were enjoying their day.
I expect they got soaked on the way home though we are grateful for the smallest of mercies.
