Travel Sketches in the UK #3


 Some of these sketches went from Urban Sketching (done on location) to holiday sketches done in the evening or early morning. The sketch above is in Bradford On Avon. The AirBnB place we stayed on was just on the left of this bridge. We traveled over this bridge multiple times a day.
We biked along the canal system to Bath and I toured the Roman Baths while Gord toured the city to find all the places we wanted to see together.
The canal boat below is the Barbara McLellan that takes people for tours up and down the canal system.

We met Jacqueline Redfern as we biked past her canal boat. Jacqueline and her husband retired, sold everything, bought a channel boat and they have traveled and lived on the channels for 3 years. They are now living the dream they didn't know they had. Loved her art and the whole concept...Gord is now worried. You can check out her art at bailedout-boatart.co.uk

Travel sketches in UK #2


 These are the next set of travel sketches I have done. The bottom painting on water colour paper was left in a frame as a thank you gift at the AirBnB that we stayed at in Bradford On Avon. It is of the apartment building we stayed in. I have had to do them piece meal as there hasn't been enough time to finish one on location.
