Maybe it's because
I'm a Londoner.
- No maybe about it.
Okay, so, the prompt on Sketching Every Day today was - famous or not so famous landmark. Well, I'm very sorry , but whenever I hear the word landmark, my first thought is normally of my hometown of London. Yeah, I haven't lived in London for over 30 years, but I was born there, I grew up there, and I went to London University. You can take me out of London, but you can't take London out of me. I quite like to compare this to a sketch I made of Tower Bridge last year -
Now, this isn't a bad sketch. I quite like the sky. But I'd like to think I'm now using colour more effectively.

One Sketch 290) (Wednesday 9th January) Cathays Cemetery
While all around
The dear departed sleep
Carved in stone above them
Angels weep
I rather like cemeteries. Didn't used to, but then that's hardly surprising is it? Cathays cemetery in Cardiff is a very good place to go if you're looking for a bit of peace and solitude, and some fine statuary to sketch as well.
