A misty (and grey) London afternoon by the river yesterday.
Charing Cross Bridge

Claude Monet
Charing Cross Bridge, Fog on The Thames
1899-1901
Claude Monet
Monet was one of the first painters I remember learning about as a child, and going to see his water lily paintings at the National Gallery. I think his Thames paintings get better as they get more and more blurred. Monet came to live in England during the Franco-Prussian war, and was inspired by Turner and Constable.
