June 04, 2009 • coloured pencils • exhibition • ink • watercolour • watercolour paper • wax crayons

Another Exhibition piece. This one clearly shows the real LONDON WEATHER, rain, rain and rain!!! Sometimes its cats and dogs all day. That's the mood I have tried to capture here, with an old lady that just must go out in it to do her shopping! Typical!
