Earlier this month - in the first spell of good weather - we went down to
Kew Gardens twice in one week. We also left the gardens via the Brentford Gate and walked on the towpath next to the River Thames wile the tide was out.
I sketched this view sat nearly opposite Syon House. I started it on the Monday and finished it on the Thursday. It has the soft hazy colours of a warm day which started with fog!
