The Pen Ponds sit in the middle of Richmond Park, two large reflective pools that the deer drift past at dusk and the herons stand in by morning. The light there changes hour by hour because the park is so open, which makes the spot a favourite for landscape painters working from life. Joshua's piece settles on the calm moment: water holding the sky, the trees on the far bank softening as the day winds down. The brush marks build patiently, in the eighteenth century manner he keeps returning to. Constable would have recognised the method, if not the exact view. Hand painted en plein air, then signed by hand. Oil on panel, approximately 30cm by 40cm, sold unframed.

Joshua paints British rivers in oil, the Thames mostly, with a few weeks each year on the Solway coast. The light he chases is the light Constable chased: dusk along Pen Ponds, morning on the towpath, the moment the tide turns at Teddington Lock.
