As the weather slowly turns autumnal I’m reminded of a painting that I completed earlier this year, which was inspired by the effect of the changing seasons on Richmond Park.

The park looks beautiful at any time of year and I had completed a series of small works on canvas-covered board that portrayed the different moods throughout the year. Each picture was intended to be shown alone, but in a flash of inspiration I thought it would be much more interesting to mount a selection of them together.

The completed picture shows how the seasons change gradually from the first signs of spring in the top left through to the winter trees at the bottom right.
