Quick sketches from a visit to the Auckland Art Gallery in the weekend. A great way to get out of the Auckland rain.

Govett-Brewster Art Gallery | Len Lye Centre

I was in New Plymouth two weeks ago for the Urban Sketchers Weekend.  It was a most enjoyable weekend.  Great to meet other sketchers and check out New Plymouth and all it has to offer, which is quite a lot as it happens.

The view of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery and adjoining shiny stainless steel Len Lye Centre in New Plymouth.  Drawn from under the veranda of the White Hart Hotel.  I really loved the new Len Lye Centre, the architecture and the contents.

Eileen and Andrew (in the distance) drawing the gallery as well.
