On a damp afternoon, I sheltered from drizzle beneath a tree on a terraced slope above the Elizabethan manor, Trerice. The children were inside dressing in mail and armour. The house has a knot garden built of aromatic herbs and bordered by laden apple trees.
I made only one sketch on our next day out at the Eden Project, quickly drawing some of the sculptures set within the Mediterranean climate biome. I was impressed by the vision of those who had created a landscaped ecological museum in the desolation of a worked-out clay mine.
Great drawings. We went to Trerice a hundred years ago when we used to camp in Cornwall with kids and many friends!
these are lovely 🙂
The sculptures are wonderful, so full of life and movement. (K)
thanks
That sketchbook drawing of the sculpture is so dynamic
thanks
drawn quickly. sometimes that works well, sometimes not
That’s the way it is though. My sketchbooks are full of bad drawings 😦
