Big Ben ceramic tile with easel is by North East artist Emily Ward. The ceramic tile has been created from an original painting by Emily and is hand pressed locally in her art studio.
Emily’s art ceramic tile and easel 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.
