Halesworth Gallery

I have been invigilating the current exhibition “Paul Cope Plates” at Halesworth Gallery in Halesworth. The building was an old Alms house and made an excellent subject for today’s sketch.

Having delivered my latest paintings to the “Inspired By Becker” exhibition on this weekend at Whenhasten in Suffolk in the morning I have a little more time to hand.

But this afternoon has been spent gallery sitting at Halesworth Gallery so whilst there I have drawn one of the very old windows which is part of this magnificent building. The building is mentioned in 1478, but the almshouse was built in 1686.

The intention was to sketch Holton Windmill near Halesworth, however I could not find a suitable view but instead I found these Bluebells growing as we get well into spring.
