Tom's Commute Pastels

Medium: Soft pastel on paper
Size: 40 x 30 cm (unframed)

A vibrant, characterful depiction of Amsterdam’s charming canal-side buildings, based on a photograph taken by a friend on his daily commute. This piece captures the soft golden light of an autumn morning, with leaning gables, tangled tree branches, and a scattering of fallen leaves bringing warmth and nostalgia.

The signage on the historic brickwork—W.F. Weuntjes Koper en IJzerwaren—hints at the layered history of the city. Bikes lean lazily against lamp posts, and the soft pastel strokes evoke both detail and mood in equal measure.

A perfect piece for lovers of travel, architecture, or the everyday poetry of city life.
