View of Bedford from Lurke Street car park today. Standing at the window on the 7th level, gazing at the far line of hills beyond the high street rooftops. Howard Street is in the foreground. The light changes so fast that by the time I left the car park at 5, the scene was pitch black, except for the fading light behind the horizon. I worked more freely, with pen first and then wash of ochre, ultramarine, alizarin - and the forbidden black! |
