Autumn in Richmond

Sunlight buries itself playfully in the soft, pearly cloud cussions, popping out here and there only to dive straight back in. Richmond filled with a golden glow reflects majestically in the broad waters of the Thames, adorned with colourful boats. I walk briskly through the town, hurry to collect my girl from school and the smell of autumn fills my lungs, tickles my deepest memories. They are just shades of feelings too abstract for words even inside my head. They taste bitter-sweet, I want to hug these trees, this padded sky. On the way home we stop by the river. My girl loves looking at the water up-close. We look for stones which the river brought here from the sea. We take our trophies home. When Sasha goes to bed I start a new still life.

Richmond Bridge



Here is the more up-to-date representation of Richmond Bridge. Cool shadows, crispy transparent air and lots of bird life.

Richmond in Fog



It was very foggy this morning. The true autumnal morning so I made this little watercolour. Later on it became nice and warm and sunny but as soon as the sun went down the air got instantly colder and the fog has return. It was curious to watch.

Soon I will be taking part in an art exhibition in Ham. This little watercolour painting is intended specially for this exhibition. I feel, I'm getting a bit of the reputation for the Ham views. I love this tranquil, corner of Richmond. My art group is meeting weekly just across this pond so got to know it really well over the past couple of years.

First Autumn Leaves



Have been to Richmond park today and the first signs of autumn are so very clear over there. This is a part of a little pond right by the Ham Gates.

First summer day by the Ham pond


Today I have painted the view of the pond on Ham green. This is the place where I paint every Wednesday with the local art group. It's a very beautiful, calm space. The spring has just turned to summer here and the first picnickers have emerged.
