Over the Cam, Garret Hostel Bridge is an original oil painting by Nick Grove.
Cambridge paintings in oil paint by Cambridge artist Nick Grove.
Painted from life, this piece holds the sensation of a moment that was there and then gone. In urban scenes, the challenge is to keep the architecture solid while letting the atmosphere stay open and lived-in.
There is a particular character to this location—the way edges soften, colours shift, and space opens and closes. Working from life allowed small truths—temperature, colour shifts, and subtle tonal relationships—to steer the decisions.
It’s a small act of attention, offered as a lasting object.
