This miniature piece captures a gentle view looking Toward Ham from within Richmond Park. Soft tones and loose brushwork suggest open ground, distant trees, and the quiet rhythm of the landscape. Though compact in size, it carries the same sense of space and stillness the park is known for—just enough to bring a breath of fresh air to any corner.
Ham is a peaceful village tucked between Richmond and Kingston, with a real sense of old-world charm. It’s known for Ham House, a striking 17th-century mansion by the river, surrounded by formal gardens and steeped in history. The area has a quiet, timeless feel—think leafy lanes, riverside walks, and a strong sense of community. Despite being so close to London, Ham feels like a little pocket of countryside, making it a favourite for walkers, artists, and anyone looking to slow down for a while.

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.
