Christ’s College, Cambridge. Apparently the mulberry tree in its garden has its own ghost. A remorseful old Fellow Christopher Round paces around the tree and the 17th-century swimming pool at midnight; he allegedly drowned a romantic rival there centuries ago.

Study of the coliseum and its immense arches. It’s peeking through two trees I haven’t finished and damn I just noticed I missed a window at the top 😂

Arches always seem to lead someplace special. Think I got the perspective a bit off on this one 😂

Gates mean so much in Western and Eastern cultures. Here is a watercolour of the Gate of Literature. The Gate known as Văn Miếu Môn, is the main entrance to the Temple of Literature (Văn Miếu) in Hanoi, Vietnam. A thousand years old…

The Ivy Garden Chelsea. You know it used to be a pub called the six bells for 600 years or so. The bells still hand in the Ivy.

Hatfield House in watercolour. In November 1558 the young Elizabeth Tudor was sitting under this great oak when she was told that her half‑sister Mary I had died and that she herself was now queen of England. The oak died so in 1985 Queen Elizabeth II planted a replacement. Lovely.

The cutest/smallest/oldest tea shop in the UK. On the busy Lonon Strand. It was originally a coffee shop for men turned into a tea room for woman. Nice

Lovely windows on this important building in London. The London Library is a private library in St.James. Its atmospheric interior was used in the Ghosbusters.

Getting windows right in watercolour is tricky but easier if you just paint exactly what you see.

Architecture sometimes uses styles from different periods to give the illusion of age and change. Here is a watercolour of a wonderful composed facade of Jesmond Dene House.

Traditionally hydraulics (fwater fountains) was considered an art form like architecture. It’s interesting how powerful they are when used together. A simple reflection pool really makes this Cambridge college.

Bath Abbey. It actually has angels running up and down ladders on its facade. Apparently they came as a vision and were made real in stone.
