About 5 years ago, I attended a Royal Drawing School course - sketching outdoors on the streets of London. We went to the New Covent Garden Flower Market, in Battersea, south of the river. I was keen to work wide, across two rectangular pages to capture the view in charcoal. I was attracted by the grim grey landscape of blocks in construction, repeated angular shapes, with their reflection warped in the windows of a parked car. There's even the image of a street-lamp skewed horizontally across the windscreen. You can see another lamp in the middle distance, beyond the covered bridge. I suppose I was amused that this concrete and glass landscape went under the name of a 'flower market'. Not a flower in sight. There was something 1984-ish about it.
