Top of the stairs, Albert Embankment Path is an original oil painting by Nick Grove.

Exhibited at the Royal Society of Marine Artists.

Standing at the top of these steps offers a view of London that contains everything I want to paint. The foreground demanded careful, accurate drawing; the steps themselves were awkward but essential. Beyond them, I allowed the drawing to loosen as distance increased.
Looking back on older work often invites revision, but there is little I would change here. The painting feels honest to the experience of being in that place on that day. For that reason, it remains one of my most satisfying works.
