I made a short tour to London with my son hand in hand in summer,1993. During the tour days, we walked around central London, visiting many famous places. At everywhere we visited, I wrote down short memos and sketched historical monuments or beautiful townscapes. After we came back to Japan, I painted the rough sketches in watercolor. The paintings I show you below are the jewels for me memorating my London tour. |
