I'd like to kick off 2009 with the final few pages from my first Moleskine sketchbook. Over the holidays I reacquainted myself with British architecture.
Christmas shopping amongst the Tudor style buildings of Chester is always magical.
After two & a half years in France the churches of England & Wales look all the more unique to my eyes.
The cosy dining room of the Hotel du Vin & Brasserie, Bristol.
the hotel du vin is a cracking picture
ReplyDeleteThese are making me homesick! Awesome work, I want to drink a pint in that Hotel right now.
ReplyDeleteheh- you nailed the hotel du vin. the spirit of searle seems to be lurking there...
ReplyDeleteIsn't it still legal to shoot welshmen like yourself in Chester? With a crossbow? Provided it's on a Wednesday afternoon or something? If so, I hope you went on a weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to you and yours, Matt.
You can't help it. Instead going to the Queen's Head or the Coach and Horses you had to go to Hotel du Vin & Brasserie!...Traitor!
ReplyDeleteA great start of the year.
