Tower bridge, London

 

Tower Bridge, London

I just returned home to the Netherlands from a lovely weekend in London. Our daughter presently studies for her Master at the Imperial College London, and we took the opportunity to visit her and the city as well.

I drew and painted this sitting in front of the large windows of the 1st floor lobby of our hotel (hotel the Tower). I could rest my sore feet and have a nice Guinness while drawing this scene. Sometimes you have to make your luck.

Unfortunately the perfect weekend had a nasty ending: on our journey back in the Brussels railwaystation our backpack with all my travel sketching gear and one of my sketchbooks with London drawings was stolen.

This one is the only drawing left of the trip, it was packed in our suitcase.

Infuriating, it took years to assemble a comfortable travel sketching set, and now it’s all gone.
