Finally at home in my living room: the labor of love of an oblique European city view.
I’ve finally finished this painting which I’ve been working on for a bit over two years. It started out as a 10×10-inch sketch, and emerged as a 45×45-inch canvas.
I’ve always been fascinated by detailed architectural art, especially the oblique kind.
The reference material for this painting was the book Above London by Alistair Cooke. Though it does not reference a specific section of London from the air, it suggests the general European city grid and architecture. It could be any time, of course, within the past century.
I’m happy to finally let it fill this wall in my house.
