Whitby side streets
Yet another sketch without sheep, heather, or hills. Last week’s half-term, trip to Whitby with the children was a hurried affair and not the full day we promised. Very busy too. I took a few mobile snaps and sketched a memory of the day.
I like it – though I had to look up Whitby and it took me awhile to find it
nice work
You are my feature and ZIP on 2/23/2012 Thursday here…FYI
yes indeed, nice work.
Another post came in also…it was a code error message – FYI
Thank you for the feature Patricia, very much appreciated. I must send you the sketches of Zip.
Oh no! I think I’ll go into wool withdrawal. Don’t make me have to draw more sheep!!! This is a wonderful picture – so lively and energetic. Your people are great, and the contrast in shading from dark side of the lane to bright is impressive. I need to study how you do that.
Aye but your too kind
I have more sheep on the horizon just as soon as I get over the Whitby period. I feel the better sketches are those done quickly, usually outside. I make a mess of more than I show. 
I’m amazed by these sketches and the life that you bring to them. I’m in awe.
I’m just a silly sketcher, not a real artist at all. I do appreciate your kind words.
Hi. The street is a busy place. I especially like the way you have done the cobblestones and the narrow blue sky above the narrow street. Reminds me of old Quebec. Jane
Visiting Canada is still top of my list of things to do. I will get there one day. Thanks for the comments Jane. Always appreciated.
those narrow, cobblestone streets look very inviting.
Some lovely little shops down that lane. Google ‘Whitby Jet’, there are some great hand crafted jewellers down there too.
Keith, great detail and feeling. I like it very much and wish I could be walking down this charming street.
Thank you Linda. More often than not, very wet too.
