spire of St. Alfege Church, Greenwich

My twenty-ninth acrylic painting is another in my UK series. This is a view you can see if you walk up to the Cutty Sark Museum, then turn and look back into town. Our flat in Greenwich [when we stayed there a week in 2017] was close by, and we could see the top few sections of the spire from our bedroom window. We were there in July that year, and I can remember being able to read the time on the clock in daylight before 5am [Greenwich Time, of course].

I painted this as a gift for Sharon's birthday (which is today). Luckily, she likes it.

I'm also amused, I am running an rpg adventure set not far from where you painted this, I think, set in a very different London in 1854 or so. :-)
I've not been to England, let alone 1854 so I've been doing a lot of research.
