Kew Palace Number of views as of 19th May 2018 = 770. The third or fourth building to be named thus, the current Kew Palace (Kew Gardens, London, England) was actually built as a mansion house by a wealthy Dutch merchant in the 1660s, hence its alternative name 'The Dutch House'. It was later sold to King George III in 1781 for £20,000 as a temporary residence, whilst a new, grander palace was being built. The new palace did not live up to expectations however and was never finished. Date: 22nd April 2011.

Kew Bridge, August 2020 Bridge over the River Thames (London, England) between Kew (in the county of Surrey) on the South Bank and Brentford (Middlesex) on the North Bank.

The Pagoda at Kew Number of views as of 22nd May 2019 = 2810. The famous pagoda at Kew Gardens (London, England) stands (163 feet) high and was completed in 1762. At that time, it was the tallest reconstruction of a Chinese building in Europe. Kew's Pagoda dares to be different, in that purists apparently argue that pagodas should always have an odd number of floors. This one has ten. Each successive, octagonal floor from the first to the topmost is1 foot (30 cm) less in diameter and height than the preceding one. The original building was very colourful; the roofs being covered with varnished iron plates, with a dragon on each corner. There were 80 dragons in all, each carved from wood and gilded with real gold. The iron plates were la...

To visit Kew Gardens is the visit the most extraordinary of all botanical gardens. Kew has the largest and most diverse botanical and mycological collections in the world. Founded in 1840, the gardens were formerly the grounds of royal palaces. This image is of one of the very courtly flower pots that line the bank of the pond in front of the "Palm House". The building beyond is today used as a museum and teahouse.

Pastel on Art Spectrum plein air board - 30 x 40 cm This painting was started during a recent paint out at Sunnyvale Rd, Kew on a jetty over the Camden Haven River. I primed the white pastel board with a watercolour wash, then blocked in most of the painting. As with most plein air paintings, a breeze came up & rippled the water, the sun was in & out behind the clouds - so much was changing all the time! I finished it off at home referring to a number of photos taken that morning. Featured in: - Nature & Man 11/09/14 - Women Painters 19/09/14 - Painters Academics 08/10/14
