Description

This piece vividly captures the iconic view of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, standing tall and majestic along the River Thames in London, England.

The scene is alive with activity as vessels glide through the rippling waters, reflecting the vibrant hues of the sky above. The bridge stretches across the river, a vital artery connecting both sides of this bustling city. Above, the British flag flutters proudly atop the Parliament, signaling that the governing body is indeed "In Session."

Dad visited England in 1977, and this work seems to encapsulate his admiration for the rich history and grandeur of London's architectural landmarks.

The swirling clouds painted in gold and gray add a dynamic, almost whimsical atmosphere. Dad's brushstrokes are fluid and lively, much like the rhythm of the city itself.

Through his art, Dad brought to life the essence of London, its vibrant energy, making it feel as if one could step right into the scene and experience the timeless charm of the city.

On this day, Dad looked across the Thames river and captured this perfect view, In Session!
