Big Ben canvas art print has been produced from original art by North East artist Emily Ward. Emily hand finishes each canvas print with her characteristic splashes of paint making it individual to you.
Emily’s art canvas print of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament is a vibrant depiction of the iconic London Landmark. The scene is set against a warm glowing sunrise or sunset sky which is filled with vivid shades of orange, yellow with hints of red. The golden glow from the sun lights up Elizabeth Tower.
Westminster Bridge with its varying shades of green spans the River Thames which is filled with colourful paint splatters which add an almost playful feel to Emily’s art.
