Last year I spent 3 days out of 365 days in Venice and this year is shaping up to be the same, so that is less than 1% of my time but I think about Venice way more than that.

The 1937 fire station in Clifford Street, York, demolished in 2017 to make way for some new flats. The facade of an old chapel, retained in the fire station end wall, has been kept in the new building. #ArchitecturalIllustration #pencil #drawing #ArtShare

Their family always presented a picture of perfect #harmony to the world. Father insisted on it, even though the reality was quite different. Dale hated the hypocrisy. To his own kids, he said, "It's okay if you disagree with me. Better the cacophony of truth than a pretty tune of lies." #vss365

There's no loud voice anymore. You would have thought this promising, but for those whose lives revolve around getting together and sharing a thought, whispers are like lightning. They always stomp or some such afterward, in case you forgot what lightning is all about. #vss365 #lightning #writemap

Talking of Cape Cornwall, much as I love it in a storm, the last time we were there was in beautiful April sunshine. Took some film snaps on my little Olympus Trip and they all came out looking like 1970s postcards...

your belief in me just makes things harder for I've lost belief in myself I can't be what you see we were in love spellbound that joy belonged to another person she's gone now and you deserve communication but I can't transmit on that frequency anymore I'm just SOS on a solitary shore #vss365

#7syllablesentence #amwriting #writingcommunity The sound of the #rain soothes me.

A reminder on FB that I drew the Bitchdaughter tower on York's Bar Walls OTD, 8th March, 2016. I sketched the Bitchdaughter Tower on York's Bar Walls, then added some watercolour back in the office from snaps I took. I probably added a few stones too. #ArchitecturalIllustration #drawing

The Dry Tree menhir stands upon goonhilly downs with three round barrows for company. Today, it is dwarfed by the satellite station. Its unusual name derives from another landmark which has since disappeared, which I explore in my blog. #StandingStoneSunday #Cornwall emcox.co.uk/the-dry-tree...

This view across the River Cam by the lock gates hasn't changed much since I painted this watercolour on the spot 30 years ago. I later produced a small oil using this as a sketch and I posted that on here recently. #watercolour #Cambridge #JesusGreen #icecreamkiosk

I love drawing small churches. I love English ones.

I like drawing. It's one of my hobbies. Barbens Castle. Provence. France.
