Been a bit side tracked from creating artwork recently, taking my first steps into wholesale, but I finished this picture just before Christmas. Buckingham Palace seen from the West end of St James's Park. The park looks especially grand in the Autumn when the trees turn. I added some of the parks birds including a heron and two of the king's mute swans. I saw a few moorhens swimming in a partially frozen lake last week, always amazed how birds manage the cold water with such thin legs! .
