Days 220 & 221

2 sketch book pages = 2 days of designing (I'm making these rules up as I go along). Really did take a while though, especially struggled with the tree... The text is cut out of some old music manuscripts - really nice lettering.

A bit more work on the painting today - lots of windows!

Day 188

So, not a completed design today but a painting I have started to work on based on some of the idea's in my sketch book. These are some of the shops near me, I have chosen a row of buildings I like and find interesting. Painting is 120cm x 40cm, much bigger than I am used to working on.
