'Finished this painting of a view in Primrose Hill of the floating Chinese restaurant on the canal, painted from about eight in the evening until ten. It took about five evenings trying to capture a moment in time really before the street lights fully came on. I thought it would be deserted on the bridge but it was actually incredibly busy with people going for a run or evening walk.
I've seen this sight for years and always wanted to paint it, I've never been to the restaurant though - maybe now I will make the effort because I heard people say such nice things about it as I was painting there!'
