Gosh you have been working hard. there is so much detail in this and I am particularly impressed with the water. Well done!

Thank you, Linda. There is still a lot to do on this one to get it where I want it to be.

Stunning one! full of movement with the clouds going one way and the water seemingly moving the other, it takes you on a journey through the painting. Nice one!

What a picture! So skillfully painted, congratulations.

Wow, the detail is amazing.

Thank you Ian. When I took the reference photographs, (two images stitched together and cropped) the movement of the sky and the river Thames flowing in opposite directions was one of the features that attracted me to the composition. I am planning to do another version looking west from Tower Bridge towards London Bridge.

Thank you for your compliments, Willie, John and Anne.

Quite an undertaking Roger, can be a bit overwhelming but you have produced a lively depiction of our great city. The motor launch has created quite a trail behind it.

Thanks, Stephen. Yes that wake needs to be toned down a little.

Wonderful Roger

Thank you David

Fantastic! So much skill, I thought it was a photograph at first!

Thanks Keith. It was painted from two reference photographs.
