Zara's Metro Station

I finished the painting for Zara on Wednesday evening at the Artist's group. Here it is: -

Zara's Metro Station

To recap - a few weeks ago Zara asked me if I would paint the canopy and entrance of a Parisian Metro station. I started it, and got this far: -

Well. I did think I might finish it today - but no real chance of that. I'd rather take my time and make it as nice as I possibly can than rush it and spoil it for her. Here's where we are now: -

Budapest Sketches

I have a daughter who works for Tui (Thomsons in old money) I love visiting cities that I've never been to before, and that means that whenever birthdays or Christmas comes around, my nearest and dearest have taken to getting her to book me a budget flight and budget hotel for half terms, Easter or Summer breaks from school. Great idea, which I love.

This last week has been the Autumn half term week from work, which meant I got to spend just a few days in Budapest. I made several sketches, which you can see underneath. I found the good people of Budapest less inquisitive than Prague or Berlin, for nobody stopped once to have a closer look or talk to me while I was sketching. Does this mean that they aren't very good? Not for me to say. Here they are.
