Yesterday morning was spent at 'Footsteps' being pampered then, while I waited for Mum, I borrowed a chair from the waiting room and sat on the opposite side of the road to create the sketch above.

Interesting building, and I especially like the way you painted the bricks. The colors and brush strokes are perfect.
Very nice - I love the way we get a little 10 minute trip to the UK every time we visit your blog - it"'s a wonderful escape from my real life.
I've never been to Chatteris, but it does seem to have everything a girl could want: a cafe, a pub and a place for getting pedicures. My DW would never need to leave!
Lovely sketch; you've captured the brickwork really well.
Great sketch...love the color of your walls.
Ronell
Thanks, Anita, for another lovely little journey. You have painted the facade of this building beautifully!
Terry
Hi, Anita,
You have captured the facade beautifully!
Terry
I too enjoy the short trip to England whenever I view your blog. You portray it so beautifully ~ :)
Beautiful sketch!
The color of the masonry of the building and the roof is very nuanced. Well executed.
Thanx Jenny!
Thankyou Casey, glad you enjoy your UK escape!
LOL...Thankyou Dave!
Thankyou Ronell!
Thankyou Terry...you're welcome!
Ops...thanks again Terry! ;)
Thankyou Serena.
Since using my sketchbooks on location, I am beginning to realise just how much we take for granted on a daily basis. You are right, England is beautiful!
Thanx Sherie!
Thankyou so much Rah!
Very nice job on the bricks of this building...not overdone. It looks like a wonderful place to pass some time, either inside or outside.
Thankyou Joan!
