This week, I just got out of the summer sun and drew a picture in the shade of some large trees. This is the back of the
Taranaki Cathedral Church of St Mary. Although it's over 150 years old, it's only become a cathedral about two years ago. With the old British stone church architecture, it seems to me to be a bit out of place in New Zealand. Still, it was pleasant enough to sit under a tree and draw it as if I was drawing somewhere else.
Brian, see if you can dig up - oops poor choice of words, locate any Fletcher's behind St. Mary's. Many Fletchers emigrated to New Zealand in the late 1800's and early 1900's. This church looks typical of ones from where my relatives came. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the sketch , the windows and the Alium flowers.
Thanks for the compliment, Dave. St Mary's only has about 25 (?) plots so I'd have to look out for Fletcher zombies in the large main cemetery. I actually plan on posting on my other blog about something that I found while looking around (sketching) the main graveyard. I'll let you know when that one's ready.
