A weeks worth of paint and canvas

This week my paint brush wanted to visit London. Personally I like painting the iconic views us tourist enjoy the most, a bigger challenge I think. I have hundreds of photos from my trip last year but never had the time to explore in paint. 

I started with the thought of doing a run of 8x10s. The first two views I have painted before, Westminster and Trafalgar Square only 30x30s.    

#801 Westminster 8x10 oil on linen (3-15-13)

#802 Trafalgar Square 8x10 oil on linen (3-10-13)

I had a 15x30 canvas and frame so I used a more panoramic view of Westminster from the Hungerford Bridge. After this little gem I took a few days off, watched movies, framed and hung paintings at Crossroads for Friday night opening.

#803 Westminster Bridge 15x30 oil on linen (3-11-13) 

Friday morning I managed (2) more 8x10s but that was it for my London run.  

#804 Big Ben 8x10 oil on linen (3-15-13)

#805 Trafalgar Square - upper terrace 8x10 oil on linen (3-15-13)

#445 Venice - Morning Rush 20x16 (3-4-11)
