I was inspired by Picture 11 and by today's historical occasion.
I roughly painted a union jack flag (not particularly well but it was from memory) and overstamped it with my London image. I added the date with outline stickers. Spent the middle part of today glued to the wonderful Coronation parades and service.

I seem to have this built in knack of being able to wake up when I want without an alarm clock. So I was watching too at 4 am, just in time to hear Crown Imperial, written for George VI coronation. I've played it several times myself, one of my favorites. The parade was magnificent, everything went so beautifully. Oh the music!!!!! Fantastic! Anyway, I love your painting with the stamp over it. An historic day, for sure. I have paperweights that my Grandma bought when Elizabeth II was crowned.

I too seem to be awake at silly times, hence I was watching too. I agree, the music was fabulous, and all the pomp and circumstance was a site to be seen. Your card is most fitting Janine, certainly a celebration.
