I mentioned earlier today that I had done a watercolour of the London Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand. This is it from 1993 (see alt text). I did several paintings wandering up and down the Strand and also in the Inns of Court.

The protests planned for Jan. 20 are primarily organized under the banner of the "Free America Walkout." This day marks one year since the second inauguration of Donald Trump, and the mobilization is intended as a massive demonstration of non-cooperation with the current administration's policies.
