Walking through the centre of Henley on Thames we passed a group of six houses, all with beautifully decorated frontages. The designs were all the same, but each had a different colour scheme. I was fascinated by these and took three or four photos for reference; although my tiny sketch only hints at the complicated patterns, I might use them as inspiration for a linocut at some stage.
Love the sketches! The -sketch of- building is beautiful and I agree those houses with the décor are remarkable. Great little gems!
ReplyDeleteThank you Charne. I think the houses were Victorian, but the decoration looked pristine - quite a task for someone to restore if they followed the original design.
