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.

Sunset hour in Richmond Park



Another Richmond park today, this time in watercolour. I usually switch techniques often not to get emotionally tired. There is some kind of wild joy to return to the fluidity and fast drying of watercolour after thick and sticky oil and vice versa, after several watercolours it's a joy to fill silky smooth paste on the tip of my brush and to be free of the worry to paint accidentally over the light area. Well today, as I say, it's watercolour phase. Who knows how long will it lasts?

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.
