Here is the view of Bathurst Mews that greeted me outside my hotel room window. My friends and I stayed at the Barry House, its small, but I highly recommend it. You will be very well cared for. This particular view delighted me more than a flat overlooking Hyde park could have. The cramped narrow buildings prickling with chimneys is the exact image that London has always evoked for me. This sketch was started in the hotel, reworked on the plane home from memory and detailed at my desk from a photograph. I am embarrassed to have had to resort to reference, but the truth is we just didn’t spend any time in the hotel beyond sleeping and breakfast… a decision that yielded many happy rewards.
More soon.
Note: Not a moleskine… its a hand.book.
