Spring on the Birmingham canals - a narrowboat, ducks, and the city at its most peaceful Birmingham has more miles of canal than Venice - a fact that surprises many people, and a network that rewards those who take the time to walk it. On a spring day, the canals are at their best: the light is soft, the water reflects the sky, and life moves at the pace of a narrowboat. This painting captures exactly that - a long narrowboat, the kind that people call home, moored or moving gently along the canal, while ducks go about their business in the water with the complete indifference that ducks do so well. It is a painting about the quieter side of Birmingham - the waterways that run through the heart of the city and offer a completely different way of seeing it. A wonderful piece for anyone who knows and loves Birmingham, its canals, and the particular charm of canal life in spring. Painted in watercolour on archival paper, it captures the light and reflections of the water with the luminosity this medium does so beautifully.
