There is so much more to Henley than the racing.
Waiting For The Win captures the unmistakable atmosphere at Henley Royal Regatta, a group gathered at the riverside in hats and traditional college blazers, watching the racing, talking and waiting to see whether their crew will come through.
It is one of those wonderfully British scenes where sporting tradition, friendship and anticipation come together beside the Thames.
Rather than focusing solely on the rowers, this artwork celebrates the people who make Henley such a distinctive occasion, the conversations between races, the familiar colours of college blazers and the shared excitement of waiting for a result.
For anyone with a connection to rowing, Henley or the traditions of the Regatta, the painting captures a moment that will feel instantly familiar.
THE PROCESS
Created using Gill's distinctive mixed media technique, Waiting For The Win combines photography, paint, layered imagery and expressive mark making.
 
Details of the spectators, clothing and riverside setting emerge through the layers, capturing both the character of the individuals and the energy of a busy day beside the water.
