DescriptionInk, watercolour, and gouache, 1998. All the hallmarks of Simon Palmer: the outsized trees; the carpet of leaves; the far horizon glimpsed through a bridge. Here we claim our spot above the picture, on a bridge; we look down upon the shimmering water. Three locks are ahead of us, and a stretch of seemingly endless canal. Light streams in from the right, creating shadows, and the foreground pool of water reflects with off-set symmetry the billowing clouds above. This is classic Palmer.
