I see the outside of
Camley Street Natural Park every time I come into St Pancras train station ( my main entry point into London from Faversham) so as this weeks 'Drawing Tuesday' venue was at
Kings Place, it seemed the perfect opportunity to explore. It really is an oasis of green between the railway tracks and Regents Canal. I did a quick sketch of the juxtaposition of cranes and gasometers with the lush green vegetation ( watched by a very tame robin) before the rain started but I was enchanted by these figures produced by a visiting school group.
A lot of the area around Kings Cross is still a construction site, with conversions of
gasometers and development of the
'Coal Drops Yard'
Granary Square with it's fountains is very popular with children and the Regent's Canal has a lot of quirky boats, a shame this
'bookbarge' wasn't open.
The Pangolin Gallery at Kings Place was closed too but still lots of sculptures around to enjoy. With half an hour before lunch , I had a go at 'Perpetual Red' by
Merete Rasmussen in coloured biros, yet another
Mobius strip, it's becoming a bit of a theme at the moment!
And afterwards , a quick look round the
exhibition of self portraits, I particularly liked these based on a palette and paintbox.
