Box Hill: Here comes the sun

It's July in England. Heavy rain and mist and wind at Box Hill.

 

It gets darker...

 

But slowly, the mist starts to lift.

 

And then the sun returns.

St John’s Garden, Islington

| admin
Urban sketching in London. A small, densely-planted garden, with big trees above, which turned out to be popular with pigeons. Droppings landed in my paintbox, and splashing on my trousers; fortunately, none on the actual drawing.

 

 

Pencil, watercolour, and crayon, 42 x 28 cm.

St John’s Gate, Clerkenwell

| admin
Urban sketching in London. Never knew this place existed: a bit of Tudor history in Islington. It had to be drawn, but difficult to find an angle where the trees didn't hide it all. Ended up with sketchbook resting on a litterbin. Must come again, when the leaves have gone.
