High Street, Broadway, Cotswolds

This is another pencil sketch of the beautiful village of Broadway in the Cotswolds, it was done from a photograph taken on a family holiday many years ago. Just last week we stopped off at the village on a trip down to London. The surrounding countryside on the day we arrived was like something out of a fairy tale. There had been several inches of snow and the tree lined roads looked like a scene from Austria in wintertime. As we walked along the main street I noticed that many of the shops now had new residents, indeed The Bindery Gallery as I have drawn above is now longer in business in High Street at this location.

Tyrolean Stream

I was having one of those days where I didn’t know what I wanted to paint. So, I put my brain in gear with my paintbrush – I just let my imagination take me to the place you see above. I suppose I created a scene of where I wanted to be. Sometimes letting your imagination loose , shows you what you really want! I created my thoughts and put them on canvas for the world to enjoy too!
