About the Item
"Close Enough for Jazz" by Jonathan Stewardson is a mesmerizing original cityscape painting that captures the vibrant energy of London at night. With his signature contemporary impressionistic style, Stewardson brings to life the bustling streets, iconic architecture, and lively atmosphere of a city alive with music and movement.
In this captivating scene, viewers are transported to a London street illuminated by the warm glow of streetlights and the vibrant hues of neon signs.

Small puddles indicate recent rainfall, adding to the sense of atmosphere and depth within the scene.

“I’m happy with that. Having covered many subjects over the years one of my favourites is London. My paintings are often an attempt to paint a memory. Whether rough sleeping in the city, or in better times on the coast, I’ve always painted with emotion. My pictures are often lonely. When there’re people, I sometimes like to be one of them. For example, I’m sitting at a table in Close Enough for Jazz (rain). Others may be people I once knew. ” - Jonathan Stewerdson
