Views From The Savoy Hotel. London

Whistler's Nocturnes
Just a brief blog on Whistler I need to do some more research on this. He called his night pictures Nocturne because of the use of very little paint. Whilst still oil they were indeed almost watercolour also very few coulours again the metopher with music was very clear to him,

Whistler also made some interesting Studies of views from the Savoy as the link below shows
Pigeon

Monet also stayed at the Savoy and the picture shown is of Waterloo bridge painted in 1900
