London's National gallery during winter - oil painting
Completed during autumn 2018 the subject of this painting is the world famous National Gallery at Trafalgar Square, London. The original was built in the 1830's but has been heavily modified as time passed so only the front of the building is true, the rest needing to accommodate the expanding collection. During the 1980s a whole new section was built, known as the 'The Sainsbury Wing'.
The painting features a cold, winters day at the location, and is painted at 23.4 x 33.1 inches on mounting board in oils.
This painting of the famous London landmark can be examined in greater detail here.

  1. Awesome painting - you can literally feel the warmth of the interactions between the crowds and the vibrations of the neo-classical architecture mingling with the slightly hazy London air. Great job, Martin!
