Character Buildings

Back of the Gables, former old military hospital on hill at Brooklands.  We've always sketched the chocolate box frontage but the lesser seen back has just as much character.

A character home near Boys High and the Race Course.  Kids peered out the front door yelling back inside 'they're painting our house'.  Something a little more formidable than we actually were doing.  Although one of us was a former Painter & Decorator!

Wedding car et al

1938 V8 Wedding car pulled up as we were drawing The Gables - I raced over to capture it before the photo shoot finished.

Continued on with The Gables - former colonial hospital - now housing the art society.

Inline skating champs weekend - drawing midst the gymnasium aroma - and thwacks as the puck slams into the barriers, or occasionally as players did so too.  Local Ravens defending.
