What's on in Smithfield

City and County of the City of London, England

Share:

Smithfield sits right in the heart of the City and feels like a proper village square where everyone knows your name. The Paris Bar has been serving up live music for years, and you can usually find a market stall or two within shouting distance. It is not bad for an area this compact. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd comedy night keeps things interesting. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you are not stuck wandering around with your phone on Sunday evening.

Spring 2026 - Magnolia by Judy Head

Around £240.00

Spring 2026 - Magnolia by Judy Head

This painting of our Magnolia was completed in the spring of this year. The magnolia tree is one of the first to welcome the spring with a magnificent display of pink and white bracts on her bare winter branches. The leaves follow, growing larger during the summer months, and as the bracts fade the catkins emerge. Painted on hand-made Japanese paper using traditional black Sumi and coloured mineral inks. Float mounted and framed in natural Ash. The chop beneath the signature is a monogram of my initials. The second chop describes the mood of the image, Dancing Brush. Dimensions: 51cm x 43cm A Certificate of Authenticity will be provided with this artwork. UK mainland delivery included. Click here to return to Judy's collection
