I painted the same view earlier this year. It’s a place I often meet the children when they need a lift home from town. This was knocked out in a few minutes while I waited for an injured son to get to the car. Looks like I’m going to be hanging around waiting in my car quite a lot this week as he doesn’t seem up to walking or cycling for a while. I do wonder how on earth I would have managed with these demands on me to be a chauffeur and nurse at a moments notice, if I’d continued to have a job working for someone else, rather than being my own boss.
Before I took up drawing again, I would never have thought I could sketch architecture in minutes – it’s amazing how drawing every day makes you fearless.
