Another four old coloured postcards, not perhaps the best
bit of copying, sorry about that
Only one said anything on the back, the one with the tram
and around 1907 seems about right to me.
One of those days when I didn’t get much done today.
I did go to Enoteca café in Ramsgate with the intention of
doing something to my sketch but didn’t seem to have what it takes.
I did a couple of quick sketches instead, experimenting with
the shapes and perspective I suppose.
This one where I just couldn’t seem to fit the background
into the window, but I did seem to getting somewhere towards painting the
curved white ceiling.
After that I turned round and had a go looking up the tunnel
as it were, with pen and wash.
Painting and drawing interiors is a tricky business and unusually
shaped ones well the camera lies and so does the brush.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
