 Work in the bookshop, this is the link to the books we have just put out

I ran away from work this morning and did a bit more to my painting from the top of the Pav aka Spoons

What I am trying to do mostly with this one is give some sort of sense of the dip of Harbour parade between the balcony of the Royal Victoria Pavilion and the elevation of the arches and buildings on the other side.

Today mostly fiddling with the detail in the distance.

With Wetherspoons there is a real sense of it being a public house in the conventional or historical sense, by this I mean that I feel comfortable sitting there sketching without consuming much.

There is also a sense of connection with people who have done this in past times, Henry Moses for instance must have sat in the window of the Kings Head (The Royal is now on the site that the King's Head was on then) for a very long time sketching.

 Here are two of the pictures he drew from there in 1815.
I don't think he can have drunk much beer or the lines would be wonkey.

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.
