 CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE

"View up the River Thames showing Cloepatra's Needle and Big Ben on the North Embankment.

The granite obelisk is about three and a half thousand years old. That is Cleo's Needle not Big Ben. It has been on the Embankment in London since 1878. It is one of a pair, the other is in Paris.

Actually it has nothing to do with Cleopatra. She came along a thousand years after it was sculpted. " CR

CLEOS NEEDLE by Colin Ruffell

Signed and numbered Fine-art print

CLEOS NEEDLE is one of the London cityscape pictures from my portfolio of giclee fine-art prints.

Visiting famous places is one of the most fascinating things that I have ever done. Of course I am lucky because I was born in London which is crammed with iconic venues. But over the years I have visited, and painted, lots of other wonderful places. All over the world.

This is how I do it.
Go and see the place whenever possible. Make sketches or plein air painting, take photos, gather background information. Bring back to my studio here in Brighton UK.
Then I can paint the original painting. Next I scan the image to make a master digital file. We own a wide format Epson giclee printer meaning that I can make my own test proofs, then print-on-demand to the highest international standards providing a valuable investment for your fine-art collection.
