Joshua’s peaceful and unfussy landscape presents a gentle view from Canbury Gardens, looking towards Steven’s Eyot. The soft tones and natural palette reflect the quiet charm of this riverside spot, capturing a moment of stillness and light that invites you to pause and take in the scene.
Canbury Gardens, located just upstream from Kingston upon Thames, is a well-loved stretch of riverside greenery. The view towards Steven’s Eyot—one of the river’s small, tree-covered islands—offers a sense of escape and calm, popular with walkers, rowers, and nature-lovers alike.

About the maker: Joshua Lea
Joshua approaches painting with a romantic sensibility, depicting British landscapes and river scenes in oil paint. Using sensitively applied colour he builds up rich layers of brush marks to portray these timeless scenes, referencing back to 18th century painters. Each piece draws on the enduring landscapes of Britain: the Lake District, the banks of the Thames, the Solway coast.
