Round the corner, Staithes (0.8 fine line marker in 21 x 26 cm sketchbook)
You can probably begin to appreciate how much I was trying to avoid standing in the wind still blowing through the town when I tell you that this subject was quite literally
round the corner form the front door of our cottage. Having said that, it wasn't out of desperation that I decided to draw it; I walked past it every time I went down to the Beck and was always taken with the way it seemed to fold in on itself.
I've loved seeing these works very much !
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteI feel for you, being exposed to the ferocity of an English early summer, been there, grew up with it, got out a long time ago!
