A Rooftop View

I was yesterday out sketching with a location drawing group. It was great fun. This one was done in Peter Jones cafe, which has a gorgeous view.

    So nice!!! Beautiful colors and romantic, sort of. I find buildings very hard to depict, but you did great! It must be great to be a cat in London and walk the roofs.

    This is beautiful! I love a great cityscape. Neat color and details, and I like the way it fades off at the edges too!

Nunu the cat stepped on a plate of ink and then walked over some work of mine leaving cute paw marks... Unfortunately the end result was quite messy so I was experimenting with backgrounds today.     (This is not the first time Nunu participated in art creation. I have an earlier work where paw marks are clear and well-positioned and only improve the work... If I find it, I'll post it here later.)
