A Special View
The Clifton Suspension Bridge
When lit up at night the bridge literally appears to hang in the sky. Being built on hills, Bristol has many stunning views. People travel from all over the world to walk across the bridge, around the city & Docks. Both were designed & built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel & completed circa 1864. Isambard was famous for speeding around the city in his office on wheels - a converted horse-drawn hearse!
A view with such a unique location, it's been painted & drawn hundreds of times. I first drew it in the 1980's & painted this in 1994.
