Park Street

I drew, on-location, a cottage on Park Street, Lindisfarne, a suburb of Hobart on the eastern side of the Derwent River.

Just around the corner from this cottage, is a great view of the Tasman Bridge and kunanyi (Mt Wellington).

View of Lindisfarne Bay, with the Tasman Bridge and kunanyi in the background.

The importance of this bridge to Hobartians was accentuated a couple days ago when a truck rolled onto its side on the bridge and blocked traffic from both directions for hours. This one incident brought all of Hobart’s traffic to a stand still. What a mess!

An on-location, from start to finish, urban sketch that I did a couple of years ago on a windy day at Lindisfarne Bay, Tasmania. I like the looseness and freedom that the windy, cold conditions encouraged. I did the entire drawing and painting in about an hour.

I hope that you are all travelling well.
