September sketchbook.

 

Top: An old canal gate, Perlethorpe. This would once have controlled the flow to a Mill, which has long since gone.

Perlethorpe Church

 

I made a drawing of Perlethorpe Church in a very small sketchbook, whilst sat amongst the Duke's graves. Then in my studio I made an acylic painting from the sketch, on stretched brown wrapping paper. My intention was to make an expressive piece, avoiding all photographic references.

EDIT: I returned to this subject, and this view, in January 2017. See THIS LINK.
