Friday 23. 09. 16 Just back from a busy week in the UK. Besides seeing a number of friends I went to the Hockney show at the RA, a display of medieval illuminated Ms at the Fitzwilliam museum Cambridge and an Artangel installation at Reading Gaol plus both Tates and the new Switch House at Tate Modern. A stimulating trip. I stayed at Beit Hall which is part of Imperial College, very comfortable, reasonable rates and conveniently situated. I made this sketch en plein air whilst waiting for the Reading Gaol expo to open. It is the view from the garden at the Town Hall.
I think plein air artists, especially urban sketchers, should do more construction sites. My goal is to seek these places out when I next head to Sarasota, Florida.
