Overcast Meadow, Richmond Park

A path through summer meadow, the grass gone tall. A line of full-summer trees ahead, wind in the leaves. Cloud heavy overhead, the low light pushing through where it can. The park late in the day — used, unbothered, alive with its own weather.

An original watercolour of a Richmond Park meadow on an overcast summer late afternoon, painted on Arches Rough 100% cotton. The park is both a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a National Nature Reserve — a working ecosystem in south-west London threaded with paths that locals walk in every weather. A line of mature oaks, a stretch of meadow gone tall, the whole thing held under a moving sky.
