Quick friend sketch

Friend sketch. I try and remember to take a small sketch pad with me and when I have the chance I will draw for a few minutes. My sketchpad is like a visual diary, I might use a drawing as a basis for another piece of art, or simply as an aide memoir reminding me of what happened on a particular day. This day was a visit to the Waiting room gallery to see a Spanish Exhibition and tile workshop.

Spanish weekend

Just had an enjoyable morning at the Waiting Room gallery in Longport, Stoke-on-Trent. We looked at paintings based on Spanish ideas, tiles and their moorish influenced patterns. Our friend Eve gave a talk about her pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. There was also some Spanish food to taste. It was very pleasant.
