Postcards from Portugal

Postcards from Albufeira, Portugal.

Inktense pencils & black pen

I have returned from holidays in Portugal & Tenerife 

with a ridiculous amount of subject material for future paintings. 

Now all I need is the time to do them!!

#inktober 1

I used to do a lot of pen drawings but lately have got out of the habit. 

#inktober spurred me on to get the pens out.

Lavenham is full of lovely old half timbered buildings - most of which escaped the 

Victorian 'Black & White' habit - so have lovely silvery oak timbers. 

This suited the fact that my pen was running out so didn't give a hard black !

Chequers Hotel, Pulborough

Chequers Hotel, Pulborough, originally uploaded by pica pica.

This 16th century hotel, at the top of Church Hill in Pulborough, was once the annexe to the original hotel in Church Place. This burnt down in 1963 and was never rebuilt.
