Oil on canvas.
As quoted by David: ‘During the days of my training and shortly after, Robin and I used to go down to the Thames, and we painted many pictures between Chelsea and Woolwich. In those days the river was full of shipping activity and the ships actually still looked like ships. Tugs, steam powered, bustled about everywhere, fussing over their strings of barges. One of our favourite viewpoints was from Bowater’s Wharf across from St Paul’s and Blackfriars. In those days, the skyline was how Wren intended it – St Paul’s was the dominating feature. Alas, now, the view would offer no inspiration whatsoever as St Paul’s has almost disappeared against a background of highrise faceless concrete architecture. Such, once again, is the progress – and all the ships seem to have gone too.’ Our very sincere thanks to the previous owner who has donated this painting to the Foundation’s work protecting endangered species across Africa and Asia.
