Meditation on Red Boat on the Thames Watercolour painting
Red Boat on the Thames watercolour Painting meditations. St Paul’s rises above the turquoise sky with expandng clouds. Pale grandeur over a busy scene. Dark indigo bleeds upwards, hovering ominously over a “sunny day”. Is menace afoot or will it pass by? The hot sun has brought all the world out to enjoy this summer’s
