Govett-Brewster Art Gallery

This was done over multiple lunches at about 15 minutes per day. The first day, there was a car with a roof rack. Being finicky, I didn't want to draw that so left the bottom for tomorrow. The next day, there was van with a roof rack. The third day, 6 out of the 8 vehicles had a roof rack. I was able to wrap up the cars and the people on the fourth day but it seemed like there was a conspiracy.

Len Lye Selfies

What to do on a New Plymouth weekend? Take a selfie in the stainless steel surface of the Len Lye Centre. (Long exposure, above, and short exposure, below. The third one was from about 18 months ago.)

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.

After one year, it's still quite popular to take a selfie against the stainless steel walls on the Len Lye Centre.
