Monday artshare! Cheers!

Hello all. I am a sketcher, trying to capture the strength, love, madness and chaos of the 'reality' I see around me.
Some recent sketchy work.

Echinops ritro, is an herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. A compact and bushy variety that features interesting prickly gray-green leaves with silvery undersides and tall sturdy stems of blue globed flowers; blooms from early summer through to the fall.

I had a really bad experience on the trains this week, but I’m not going to rehash that here. Instead, I want to tell you about today’s positive experience of at Cambridge North Station, as a hopeful counterpoint and a nod towards good practice.
