If you stand at Kings Cross Station in Central London you know you’re in the heart of a large, busy city, with the roar of the traffic and the crowds. But walk five minutes up the road and down a flight of steps and you are in another world. The green, watery quiet world of Regents Canal.

Once on the towpath the noise of the city vanishes, the light is green and gold as it comes through countless leaves on the many trees that line the canals. The sounds are water lapping and birds singing. People walk, jog and cycle along the canals or sit and read the papers. From Kings Cross it’s a lovely walk up the canal to Camden Lock with its colourful markets. Stop here for a fresh juice or a cup of coffee. Then back onto the canal and a little further on you’re in Regent’s Park. And you never needed to see a road or hear the roar of traffic along the way.

This painting is a 12×9 inch acrylic on board. It captures a summer Sunday on Regents Canal, people out walking enjoying the sunshine and the peace of the water. And there’s a dog too. :-)

Here’s close up. You can just see one of the canal boats coming out of the sunshine in the background.
