it was actually a very grey afternoon as I cycled past this local cricket match, watercolour 11ins x7ins on NOT 140lb.
it was based on very hurried pen and brush pen sketch in moleskin pad when I got home
I've been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember;in that sense it is part of who Iam , in my soul. Only when I 've tried drawing something or someone do I sense that I know what I have seen. This blog I hope illustrates what I mean.

2 views of St Mary's church, Portchester, UK
original sketch: St Mary's Church Portchester; days of strong winds; brush pen and fine liner in moleskin journal
the second was done in comfort indoors; watercolour on coldpressed 300g/m2
for those interested in church history and architecture: St Mary's is a classic Norman church built 1133 for the monastic community which located in the grounds of Portchester castle. The community moved out twenty years later; the church over the centuries lost its south transept hence the odd shape, and the original chancel removed and replaced by a much smaller one
