This is a painting I did of the London Tower (often called “Big Ben” though that name only refers to the great bell that rings in the tower). I have never been to London, but I have plans for it this Summer so I am excited. So many stories and ideas come from England that are captivating to me. I find myself inspired by thoughts of Peter Pan, Chronicles of Narnia, Shurlock, and then Jack the Ripper. Compared to America, it is such a small country that it had to cram so many stories into a limited space.
