New assignment at the beginning of the week . It looks interesting. We have to make observational drawings of the above subject and then source fabrics and materials and make the connection.
At the weekend, I was lucky enough to go to Surrey and visit friends. I think, what struck me, was how little I looked at everything before I came to Norwich... it makes me feel really emotional because it feels like I have been asleep for 38 years and have finally woken up.
Brooklands Museum and home to Mercedes World and test track, I have visited many a time and never looked at the landscapes and it struck me how the landscape awkwardly sits against the green and blue skyline.
I was treated to breakfast at the Brooklands Hotel (never noticed before either!!!). The decor is sumptuous, opulent and true to the 1930's era of the Motor Sports hey day. When it was all the rage to be seen at these motor events.
I happily snapped away and sketched for 2 hours and feasted on the best Eggs Benedict I have ever tasted. These photos are going to be the base of my exploration into manmade materials for my project.
Bright modern lights against steel chrome propellors and smooth undulant lines gracing every corner of the hotel. Plush leather seats adorning all tables of red glass.
Height and grace were perfectly matched in this building and it was an absolute delight to be there.
