Hi everyone, hope you've had a good week. With a focus on London at the moment with the Olympic opening ceremony starting in a few hours I thought I'd share a pen, watercolour and pencil sketch of a little flower shop in the architecture of the railway bridges around Borough Market in Southwark, London. It's a very atmospheric area and Borough Market is full of life and colour. Hope you enjoy the games opening ceremony if you're watching.

Sure, i'm watching the opening and...i'm in love with your sketches. The wall is so detailed and the flowers in front are so lovely and brightly coloured. Just amazing.

Marvellous art work Chris. Watched some of the opening ceremony whilst ploughing through 2 hrs of ironing.
As you said, very atmospheric and a gorgeous picture. I was at a wedding yesterday so missed seeing the opening ceremony but I am sure it was spectacular. Have a great weekend, Chris.

Hi Chris!
Oh so beautiful. This must have taken a month of Sundays to do. Doug wanted to know how you did the brick work? He loves art and is quite good at drawing too. I think you painstakingly sat and drew every brick!! Did you do it from memory or take a photo? So many questions.
I have been watching the Olympics. The opening ceremony was quite impressive. Love it. a lot of late nights coming up.
