Marrickville & Tempe

After a hard morning's exercise I went and had some fish and chips at my local fish shop – the oldest F'n'C in Marrickville, so I'm told. They wanted me to come back at a better time when their window is full of fish. So I may return with watercolours next time.

I went for a walk down to Tempe, as I knew the circus was in town. Wasn't sure what to expect, the circus site was pretty small and the weather was a little crappy. But it is a nice spot and plenty to draw. Well worth another visit, but with better weather conditions.

With work and every day in May taking up the bulk of my time – my urban sketchers contributions have been very thin of late. Plus the weather wasn't very kind, especially to water soluble mediums.

Below are only two I managed. The first is of a show at the Enmore Theatre – an old art deco style theatre, which is one of my favourite live venues for various reasons. And the other is a small section of Cooks River, down along Steele Park in Marrickville. Popular with cyclists, walkers and joggers, it is amazingly still very serene.
