This is one of the images that inspired me to become an artist. I had
this image in a book as a child, and I used to try and figure the
height of the tower in the foreground based on the people in the
landing deck. I then compared the foreground tower to the tower in the
background to estimate the height. I spent hours with a ruler and a
calculator* estimating how hight the tower was. BTW, The tower in the
foreground is approximately 2,100 feet to the top, and the one in the
background is around 10,500 feet ! ( *back in the days when
calculators took several seconds to compute something ! ) I would love
to find out what year the painting was created, and the size of the
original. Peter put so much detail into this one. I'm sorry he passed
away. Thank you for posting this site with his work.

I feel as though I could fall into this painting. Whenever I see an
insect approaching a flower, this painting is called to my mind, Mr.
Elson's work is definitely memorable. I love it.
