Kingston Gate is the south-western entrance to Richmond Park, the one closest to the river and the busiest on a weekend morning. Joshua's view is from inside the park looking out, which is a more interesting angle than the picture-postcard one. You get the trees that line the avenue, the soft fall of the land toward the gate itself, the suggestion of the town beyond. Small in format but not small in feeling. Joshua's miniatures hold the same observed honesty as his larger work because the method is the same: hand painted from life, in layers, with the brush marks visible. The piece is signed by hand and sold unframed so you can mount it in a way that suits your wall. Oil on board, approximately 10cm by 14cm.

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.
