I haven't posted in a while. 2 sessions with Chalk_Collective.

The first was from the bar of the Hilton Hotel at Southend airport.  The bar overlooks the runway, the large windows meant for a challenging session as there were lots of reflections.   Last night we went back to the Railway Pub.  The jazz is always good and we were a bigger group than usual.

I thought I had posted these.

Last month we went to Benfleet Creek, and were supposed to go back last night, I even had my spot picked out but... bad weather meant an evening in the Railway Pub... which was no bad thing!

Instead of Benfleet Creek, the Railway Pub.

We were supposed to go back to Benfleet Creek and Barge Gladys but the bad weather meant we went back to the Railway Pub.  No hardship as the live jazz was amazing.

Not much time for sketching so far in 2019

But here are a few, from China and with Chalk Collective in Leigh last week.

first opportunity to sketch in months.

I went with a school group to Anbo Mountain yesterday, a two hour ride away,  so the kids could ski   and snow board... the alps it is not but...the kids had a blast whilst I sat inside...
