Back to faster, more sketchy drawings with this ten minute view looking up the Mile outside the parliament.
I’ll be glad when the weather warms up a little so I can still feel my fingers after a sketch!

Final day of 2010
Phone home
There is something about the old red telephone boxes that attracts the eye, especially when they get together. I remember staying in Kingston, Surrey and the only thing I remember about the rather drab town centre was this artwork by David Mach of telephone boxes lying on each other like dominoes.
The three I have drawn today are on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, and judging by the attention they received whilst I was there, they appear in many a tourist’s photo.

A cold night at Edinburgh’s Winter Wonderland. Thanks to Martin for the photo (here)
In full swing until Tuesday 4th January remember to wrap up warm if visiting the wonderland, and don’t forget the mulled wine on the German Market (which runs till Christmas Eve).
At my desk
Merry Christmas everyone!

Winter wonderland 2a
Morning! Thanks to Martin for this great photo of Edinburgh’s Winter Wonderland from last night. Just an ink sketch here, but I’ll add colour later. Check out the original image here and you’ll see there is a great night sky, the helter skelter looking stunning all lit up. It should be a good challenge to try to capture.
