Rasmussen's London to Stratford-on-Avon paintingsresult fromtaking her eye to the country of her father's birthplace, arriving the day before the British Election. The Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, to the London Eye, a huge Ferris wheel, London Bridge, tugs, barges, all along the embankment, then St Paul's Cathedral, Russell Square, its yellows in the frigid May air, Trafalgar Square, encircled with non-stop traffic, double decker buses, Nelson upon his column, the lions, the fountains – sights to the travelling North American artist with easel, oils, watercolours, panels and arrival at the painter's location. Pilgrimage to Stratford took Avis Rasmussen's London eye to Constable country, Salisbury Cathedral, where artists follow footsteps. At Stonehenge she found a bench to narrate in paint the view of the timeless stone circle.
