Description
Westminster Abbey January at night Painted by Frank Callaghan. Oil on Canvas (36 cm x 46 cm) (Unframed) Some years ago I bought my wife a watercolour painting by Paul Banning, a local artist, and a picture of this very view. It has always been a favourite, and rather unusual for a watercolour to show a night time scene. Visiting London recently I decided to seek out the view that Paul Banning had used for his painting, and so one very cold January night, roads wet and showing good reflections, I set out with my camera. This is just about the same scene, within a yard or two. Now I have a matching pair! I am rarely pleased with my own work, but this is one that I quite enjoyed painting and still enjoy looking at.
