Product Description


Richmond Embrace is one of three paintings inspired by a visit to Richmond on Thames. This vibrant piece, painted en plein air, captures the dynamic energy of the river, bridges, and riverbank life. Helen uses the technique of plein air painting to absorb and convey much more than just the visual aspects of a scene—she captures the essence of Richmond itself.

The painting reflects the ongoing relationship between people and nature, as both coexist and shape the landscape. From the bustling activity of people interacting with the river to the architectural beauty of the bridges, Richmond Embrace embodies the spirit of this lively location. The abstract forms and colors weave together the natural and human elements, creating a harmonious yet energetic composition.
