mOO angel!

Well I'm fresh off to find some flowers at this year's Gateshead Summer Flower Show! I'll be in the craft tent, you can find a link with all the info here:

Since I was headed to Gateshead I thought I's polish off an idea I had ages ago for a picture of the Gateshead Angel of the North. You can see the finished picture here...

It's a sort-of taking off view with some flying birds and the whole North east on the background. (I did have a a few moments when I wondered why I was drawing every single house on Tyneside!)

The Angel of the North is an Antony Gormley steel sculpture which has apparently been there since 1998! It quickly became a local landmark as can be seen from this excellent demonstration of Geordie Pride..


See you at the flower show folks!
