I thought that the nighttime view of the Big Ben and Parliament Buildings would make the perfect piece as the finale of my April Challenge series. It was a fine thought; executing the idea into a decent painting was, well, another matter. In the end, I managed to create a painting that would make Vincent van Gogh proud! It must be the outstanding subject that inspired me to rise to the occasion.
What a trip it was! I am grateful to my husband for insisting that we should take the trip. Above all, I am grateful to our gracious hosts in Sidlesham, West Sussex, for putting us up for eight wonderful days. There are many memories I will treasure forever. I would also like to thank my readers for following my pictorial journey down the memory lane.
I am going to take a couple of days off to get ready for the next week's five-day workshop with Gregory Packard in Richmond, VA. When I return on Friday, I will share the collage of the nine paintings I did for the "I Love England" series. If you are on Facebook, please like my page, because this month I am going to give away a print of the collage to my Facebook fan!

| I met my graduate school buddy, Steve, who happened to be teaching at Canterbury this semester. We haven't seen each other for almost 20 years! He gave us an excellent tour of the cathedral. |

| We almost got blown away by a strong gale at the Lifeboat Station in Selsey, West Sussex; the sea behind my daughter is the English Channel. |

| Yes, we did go to the British Museum while in London. Seeing the Parthenon sculptures again was one of the highlights of the trip. |
