A gorgeous day for the start of the Brighton festival children’s parade which kicked off this weekend. Featured on the left are Patcham Junior School with Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe. Many headed to the beach afterwards – melted and exhausted!
The newly unveiled Hove Plinth was getting lots of attention today. The first sculpture on display is Jonathan Wright’s mechanical model of the solar system, featuring the delights of Hove rather than boring old planets.
Blatchington windmill is my personal favourite.
The last week of my portraiture course. A single sitting in acrylics.
I’m definitely hooked, so watch out friends and family… I’ll be looking for victims… um I mean sitters!
You know it’s going to go well when you turn up half an hour early for your course and it takes you 10 minutes to realise.
Off to an impressive start, I proceeded to spill an entire jar of thinners and an entire jar of coffee all over the floor.
As well as all that, I also managed to finish portrait of Finlay, so it all worked out in the end.
Going to avoid jars for the rest of the day though!
My day started with commuters at the Flying Coffee Bean, Brighton station.
Followed by a pilgrimage to Waterstones specifically to sniff books, drink coffee and sketch out of that window.
Can you believe someone had already nicked the table. What’s more, he was ‘reading’* of all thing. Outrageous!
*I very much approve of reading, just not in my seat.
