And don't the British just do the most beautiful stamps!?

Thanks Cathy - this scene is just three miles east of the Bank of England in the City of London too!
The stamp is by William Morris and comes from one of his flower designs - although I'm not sure whether it's wallpaper or textile. I got a book of all the different ones when I saw them as he is one of my favourite arts people
Serene scene. That's what I love about London and her parks. Beautiful, Katherine. William Morris is a favourite of mine too.
I love the simplicity of this scene - such lovely reflections - it does shout tranquility - and in the heart of London its amazing.
nice one Katherine :>) very very tranquil
Katherine your CP works are always so delightful for the color, line and form and simplicity of the image. You make it look so easy. Like the taste of the freshest fragrant piece of fruit which is impossible for me to create but gratefully possible for me to enjoy.
I thought it was William Morris, but was confused by the name John Henry Dearle on the stamp - I see on Wikipedia that he worked for W.M. and became art director after his death. This design is on the page, labelled Seaweed wallpaper. Happy to see I can leave comments again too - if this goes through!...
Whoohoo - we've solved the comments problem!
I agree with vivien...lovely tranquility...if only all beaches were like this?

Stunning - very very peaceful and I can imagine how much more special it would be in real life!
Lovely, tranquil scene. The simplicity of it really highlights the gorgeous textures you achieve with your pencils!
Very nice, it does seem so peaceful considering all you have gone through, nice to have a refuge.
