SHEFFIELD - Matilda Street

Need enlightening about it's former use again! Have always loved the proportions of this building.

LONDON - Cityscape

Don't look for this view - it's from my memory!

SPAIN - Caceres

DERBYSHIRE - Calver - Mill Pond

The old mill is now an apartment block - lovely place to live.

LONDON - St Andrew by the Wardrobe

Quite near St Paul's - near Blackfriars - One of Wren's - I believe

ENGLAND - Cambridge - Kings College Chapel

SCHOOL BUS - Michigan

Brighton... Michigan USA of course.

MALLORCA - Petra Monastery

One of a series of 12 watercolours I've drawn of Monasteries in that beautiful Mediterranean Island of MALLORCA (and I've nothing to do with the tourist board!)

VENICE - BASILICA from PIAZZA SAN MARCO

Seems such a long time ago (March 1st) since I posted the pen only version of this
.............. it is done............ now for the Art Show selection day - always a nervy day!

VENICE - Rio del Paradiso

Near Campo Santa Maria Formosa

ENGLAND - Boats at Portland Bill, Dorset

Can't get much further south than this in the centre of England. The waves rip round the lighthouse..... that's what I like to watch.... and one day maybe paint.

ITALY - Mondonico

This is near Olgiate Molgora north of Milan on our way to Venice (see post of 12 April)

VENICE - Rialto

Go on then........... another from Venice........ and a bridge!
It's available from Church Farm Gallery, Baslow.

ITALY - Bergamo Towers

We flew into Bergamo to stay with friends renting an apartment in nearby Olgiate Molgora before our visit to Venice

ROME - Forum

Whew! That was labour intensive. That's the Colosseum at the top of the hill - those Romans knew how to sort out the drainage and keep the grass (or whatever) in the Arena dry. They weren't bad at columns, arches, statues and thingies... and they sorted those barbarians out.

Addendum (12.10pm):

I've now found my copy of The Life of Brian and Reg confirmed that the Romans sorted the following: the aqueducts, sanitation, the roads, irrigation, Medicine, Education, Health, wine, Public baths, made the streets safe to walk, kept order, the freshwater system and peace. Since our visit I would like to add that the Romans also gave us the Pantheon.

VENICE - San Salute

I drew the one on the left on my PC with the mouse before I went to Venice (from my imagination). The one on the right is from a photo on my return from the most picturesque place I've ever been to..... by a long way!

DRESDEN - Frauenkirche

I did this one for my friend Sylke who worked on the reconstruction of the Frauenkirche in her home town.

Corbierre Lighthouse - Channel Islands UK

Extracted detail of my Corbierre Lighthouse painting.

My friends and colleagues bring me back their holiday photos from far off places

My favourite dessert after the dessert... extreme sauce sketching!
Had a lovely meal last Friday night at Glyn Clydach near Neath in my beloved South Wales. Can you see what it is yet?
