Walking to the Tate in the Winter Sun

This impressionistic Winter landscape is actually set in a city, but the sunshine and long shadows through the trees have a strong feeling of being immersed in nature. The cool blues of the distant buildings offset the warm colours of the sunshine. The heavy-body acrylics and blocky brushwork add to the impressionistic feel.

I photographed this scene walking past the path leading into the Tate Modern and the sun streamed through the Silver Birch trees, just at the right angle.
