No Gothic revival this
It never went away.
And as it nears its millennium
Still it looks down
and down
And sees
All is well.
Yes, today was the July sketchcrawl of the South Wales Urban Sketchers chapter - Cardiff again, but this time a Sunday rather than a Saturday. This time we each of us stayed outdoors, in and around the Hayes area. This is the only direct watercolour I made, but I did make some ink sketches - here they are: -
This is a bear from Cardiff Castle's famous animal wall. I enjoyed sketching it, and wanted to do more, but I was standing up and the sun was beating down on my bald spot.
I broke the habit of a lifetime, and asked this chap if he didn't mind me sketching him. He couldn't really refuse - I'd just put some money in his bag. Very good he was too - a selection of Dire Straits' hits, which always goes down well with me.
The Hayes Island snack bar.
The Old library - our meeting place. It contains shops, and a museum, and a café, which was closed, so we had our post morten session alfresco today.
