Sasa's Sketchbook 3

Sketching and keeping rain in a cafe in Kensal Rise.

Because I am lazy, I am using a sketch I did last weekend in Richmond. This is Richmond Bridge that crosses the Thames = the liquid highway. I was getting quite cold when drawing the river scene, so afterwards went to this boat cafe to get a cup of warm liquid = Earl Grey.

Spent a great day in Richmond today sketching with a group of very talented artists. I have always wanted to draw this tree (I was informed it is a horse chestnut) because of its size and amazing flowers.

  When I was at school we were discussing what human evolution might mean. Maybe we would have larger heads to house enormous brain, huge lungs to cope with pollution, big nose with plenty of nose hair to filter that horrible air, and tiny thin legs that come with the sedentary lifestyle... And maybe we will be bright orange thanks to thinning ozone layer and increased UV radiation (or maybe it is just fake tan). Spring Look 3013

This is my version of one of the paintings of Qi Baish i, my favorite Chinese painter. The original can be found from here .

I have three paintings hanging in a group exhibition in London. At least color wise they go quite well with that exciting work on the left.
