Parliament, Reflections on the Thames — Fine Art

The Houses of Parliament sit on the far bank while water below carries a broken reflection of the towers and a soft sky.

Parliament, Reflections on the Thames keeps the weights low in the frame, leaving the upper half open.

The picture is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel, so the wet grey strokes stay flat under glass and the darker blue along the water gains a steady edge. On the landing wall it reads as a narrow strip of shadow and pale blue, and from the bottom stair you see the heavy dark shapes first, then the loose colour above.
