I love this! I was only in London once for Guy Fawkes Day and remember remember remember. The fireworks along the Thames were wonderful. Our children watched from a tower near the river. I love your style and the wonderful humor and action of the composition. Three cheers for you!

I hope this piece gets "pick of the week". I love the color palette and the historical content - very fitting for November. His expression is funny too. Oh yeah - one more thing...the backdrop is FAB!
