To the north the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf were beautifully lit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This painting is my most detailed yet, hence the higher than normal price. I think this is a quintessentially English scene, with the suburbs in the foreground, trees and church in the mid-distance , and skyscrapers in the distance. Even the sky is the normal blue for an English sky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The artwork is very detailed, especially in the foreground. This painting needs to find a wall where it can be enjoyed at close distance as well as from farther away. It is ready to hang.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canary Wharf has sold to a couple who live near this view. You can commission a painting of a view from your area, or get a print of this painting.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2032\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-1-scaled.jpg 2032w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-1-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-1-813x1024.jpg 813w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-1-768x968.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-1-1219x1536.jpg 1219w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-1-1625x2048.jpg 1625w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-1-560x706.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2032px) 100vw, 2032px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Entire painting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-detail-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-detail-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-detail-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-detail-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-detail-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-detail-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-detail-1-560x840.jpg 560w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-detail-1-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A detail of the painting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-in-situ-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-in-situ-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-in-situ-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-in-situ-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-in-situ-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-in-situ-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-in-situ-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Canary-Wharf-in-situ-560x840.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Painting in situ<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/artphilsmith.com\/?page_id=437\">Commission a similar artwork<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In March 2024 we were walking with friends, with a clear bright late afternoon light playing over the London suburb of Lewisham near Blythe Hill Fields.
