Big Ben Painting Explained

Here is the partner painting to Jabberwock which I just posted, although this is 30” square and the gears painting is, I think, 20”x24”. I grew up helping my dad build, well, everything, and am familiar with the chalk line.  I used mine to get the perspective straight in this piece and loved the look!  Look closely and you’ll see red lines from the thwack of my string.  I liked it so much that I painted over them to make them permanent.  This painting of Big Ben is named ‘Reconstructing Alice,’ for Refine Arts’ show of the same name. 

This piece and its partner, Jabberwock, are for sale on my website, www.colorcatstudios101.etsy.com

Big Ben Painting

Here are some super-close closeups of my Big Ben painting.  I love the perspective lines.  Originally I laid these down with the thwunk of a carpenter’s chalk line, and liked them so much that I decided to make them permanent and laid down paint on top.

This was painted for our daughter’s show ‘Reconstructing Alice,’ hence the painting’s name. She has her own dance company, Refine Arts, and writes her own shows, choreographs and directs shows for theaters, choreographs shows for schools, on and on. This and its mate were painted to grace the ticket hall so patrons could see them when they came in. For sale colorcatstudios101.etsy.com.
