So, I've been on a transatlantic whistle-stop trip around New York and Canada. A wee taster of two completely different places, both fascinating, and both great. Not nearly enough time spent in each place, but a good introduction to both brothers lives across the pond.
So, a few drawings will follow in various posts. A sketchbook was filled in all of two weeks, but I won't scan everything. But here are two of the skyline from the hotel.
Loved the water towers that were all over the place in New York. Apparently they all have to be the same style, only one company makes them, just to keep the integrity of the New York skyline. You don't really notice them at first, but once you spot one, you start to notice hundreds all over the place, I just loved the patterns and uniformity they made amongst the totally different buildings.
Nice trip. Nice sketches. Hope you will post all the others you did. I look forward to seeing more.

Catriona, I looked at your travel map and not only did you probably drive right past where I live but ALSO through my hometown on your way to NYC!!! I would loved to have met you over here! Darnnn!! I guess I will have to meet you sometime in the Borders! Someday I hope, then we can go sketching. I saw your note on Everyday Matters group and had to stop by to say hello.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
Wow - what a great trip! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and love seeing your sketches. I'm looking forward to seeing more of them! nancy
ReplyDeletelovely renderings of my hometown. glad you noticed the water towers - they are so much a part of the city and yet, as you say, they frequently go unnoticed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic journey... and your drawings are such a beautiful reminder of your incredible trip!
ReplyDeleteOh thankyou so much guys! I can't believe I went through your home town Mary, would have been great to stop and meet, but then it was a flying visit so may not have had a chance - but def need to meet in the Borders when you're backx
