| Quick rendered pen sketch 1 |
The weather forecast was for a grey day, little wind with low pressure
promising some precipitation. Boy, the precipitation was unrelentingly
persistent and, avoiding cabin fever we decided to have a coffee in town at one
of many outlets. However, we parked near the Minster, which
reminded me that I had been contemplating doing some pen and ink doodles
inside. Also, I remembered that, near the discrete Minster shop inside, tea and
coffee was sometimes available, and bingo, we were in luck. We meandered
the interior, as well as appreciating the awe inspiring ancient architecture, I like to
visit the " modern " sculpture in the Lady Chapel, at the eastern
end of the church. I remember when, having taken my late mother, the
vergir, one of my old students, gave us a preview of the yet to be
revealed work which thrilled my mum. While there today we both
contemplated our parents, who now exist as loving memories.
Back
to our wandering we settled in the Choir ( Quire ) and I sketched a detail of an nearby decorated archway. Moving on we sat in the main Nave and sketched the
raised lectern.
Both sketches were done with a fountain pen and I have scanned and rendered the images.
Our documentary exhibition is still on at the moment, last weekend coming up.
Please try and come round if you can, if not check out the details above.
Hope to get out soon and begin this season's plein air painting in earnest.
Happy sketching.
