A trip to Denbies Vineyard near Dorking to deliver pictures for the Croydon Art Society exhibition. The vineyard nestles in a valley below Box Hill on the North Downs, and near the Surrey Hills. And it's August Bank Holiday... What a good opportunity for a sketching trip... except that it's August Bank Holiday.
Heavy rain... Cold wind... Flooded roads... Thick fog...
All I managed was this sketch from the car park. Box Hill is lost in the clouds.
Ink and watercolour, 43 x 13 cm. Click to enlarge.
The exhibition continues until 13 September, open every day. The gallery is on the first floor of Denbies, so should be safe from flooding...
P.S. Just realised: we don't need to display the tax disc on the windscreen anymore -- I can take it down now.
