What a peaceful and serene setting that you captured so well, Julian!

Well done!

Ron Parish

I am 81 years old and grew up in Battersea with this as my playground. I am in tears, I wish that I had seen your painting when it was for sale, I may have been able to afford it.
A beautiful memory recreated.

Painter’s notes

And the summer break comes to an end! I painted this in London, where I went to see Marc Dalessio who was teaching a workshop in Battersea park, I had an hour to fill before we could go off to lunch so painted the lake. Later Marc and I met up with Roy Connelly ostensibly to paint, but after 4hrs of wandering around the river and the city we eventually gave up and sat in a bar! Today the July workshop attendees arrive so hopefully we'll have a few lavender fields to show in the next week, (still a spot available for October BTW).
