Pictures of Ramsgate, Belgian Cafe New Look and a ramble

Some New Look pictures for the record. I thought I had better get some as New Look in Ramsgate is likely to close and there may suddenly be no further opportunity

When it's Gone it's Gone 

So next some of the Belgian Cafe, the only way to have got decent photos of the inside would have been a dslr and flash unit and I don't think I ever did that.

I may have a lot on file somewhere or may have deleted them so it's really down to ones I put online and can find using Google.

 Photos sketches anything capture it?

Pictures should expand if clicked on repeatedly 

I suppose I am thinking about what makes a picture, painting or photo in some sense meaningful, there is an area here which is about including people, I don't think anyone would want a portrait of someone other that imitate family on the wall, and yet there is an area where including people makes the picture, even if you don't know them.

You had better see this post as still the writing and I will probably add to it

Bookshop wise this is the link to the books we put out today

Wetherspoons this evening for us, I miss the Belgian Cafe as it was a while ago although not so much how it was towards the end.

Ramsgate, Pulhamite, Purple Pansies

A few old pictures of the waterfall, and some of yesterday

Gunboats and dispatch riders at Ramsgate Harbour, a bit more watercolour sketching in The Belgian Café.

First the gunboat pictures last night and this morning.

 Then the dispatch rider and 1940s B.S.A. M20, a couple of lovely looking ladies.

Then it was on to The Belgian Cafe for breakfast and a bit more work on my watercolour sketch.

 Bit of rubbing out with sponge here as the lady in question only had the very top of her head painted and today had put her hair up.

 Tricky business painting people from life, for one thing, unlike buildings the move about. This is not like painting the girl in A Bar at the Folies-Bergère where I assume she posed over the champagne and oranges for ages, so a likeness if I'm lucky.

 Finally this rather strange picture, as I had to take my daughters shopping in Canterbury this afternoon, I have an allergy to shopping so painted a picture and ate cake.
