ST MARY'S CHURCH, Doddington, Cambridgeshire. UK

St Mary's Churchyard: Pigment liner and watercolour.

Friday night cricket practice has began, taking both of my boys with it!
It was such a fine evening I decided to take my sketchbook rather than come back home after dropping them off.

I drove into Doddington village and before long I was parked aside St Mary's church. Like a magnet, churches seem to pull me toward them, and the churchyard looked so pretty in the dappled sunlight I was not about to resist!

DODDINGTON VILLAGE, Cambridgeshire UK

On Friday morning my moleskin sketchbooks finally arrived and the sun burst through the clouds as if to greet them. After lunch, and the usual Friday house chores, I grabbed my sketch bag and travel chair, threw them into the back of my truck and headed into Doddington village.

The sun was deceiving, I absolutely froze and had to cut my trip short and return to the truck so I could feel my feet again!
