Catching Up

Drawing By the River, Avenham Park, Preston

It's been a while, hasn't it, since my last blog? I'll try and remember what's been happening.
A search through my sketchbooks should give me some clues!
Here's a picture, above, of Avenham Park in Preston, it's where myself and Mr Price met up with other Preston Sketchers.
As is this one of Morrisons Supermarket.

And we also met at Worden Park in Leyland and sheltered from the rain in the one place we could, condemned to draw what was in front of us, or the person next to us, which is what Messrs Price and Heath often do anyway!

I seem to have spent a lot of time in hospitals, this one's when I was waiting in the out-patients..

And here's my dear old Mum who I found slumped at her home after a heart attack - thankfully she's making a good recovery.

I've done a lot of bus travel and enjoyed drawing out of the windows,

"..And in Five Minutes It Was Out Here!"

 and listening to snippets of conversation.

I've travelled by Virgin train (this sketch has got to be be worth a fortune now!)

But now I'm back, doing things like sketching at the museum in Preston,

sometimes venturing over the border to Yorkshire..

 and, in the studio, catching up with the artworks for my exhibition next year.
