I painted London with a little sunshine romance here and used on this bookmark, will give you a positive memento of joyful days in the capital.

The colours of the golden Elizabeth tower (big ben) and Westminster Palace in the sunshine compliment the blues and greens of the sky and Thames and helped me create a soothing painting using pastel shades. I used some Mediterranean green for the water to help convey how glorious this part of London can look in the sunshine. I also love the way the London eye adds some extra perspective and a little visual drama to this view. Finally I added a few boats taking tourists up and down the river. The Thames feels so alive in the summer with people enjoying London's architecture and history from bustling ferries and clippers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the bridge you can see The London Eye on the south bank and the Palace of Westminster, Big Ben and the Royal Air Force Memorial on the north bank.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI also have \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mikegreenillustration.com\/products\/westminster-from-londons-golden-jubilee-bridge-print\" title=\"Westminster from London's Golden Jubilee Bridge Art Print\"\u003eprints of the full painting\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mikegreenillustration.com\/products\/westminster-from-golden-jubilee-bridge-london-greetings-card\" title=\"Westminster from London's Golden Jubilee Bridge Greetings Card\"\u003egreetings cards\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mike Green Illustration","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56512806191490,"sku":"MG-L17-BM","price":3.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/0139\/0355\/files\/big-ben-london-eye-bookmark_63e4506f-0212-4228-9534-008c1cec15a3.webp?v=1775464780","url":"https:\/\/mikegreenillustration.com\/products\/big-ben-and-the-london-eye-on-the-thames-london-bookmark","provider":"Mike Green Illustration","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
