20th April
I had a good drawing day at the station today. I'm beginning with a series of mixed media drawings exploring different compositions and then hope to work them up to some large scale oil paintings.The parts that interests me most are the deserted platforms, barricaded off to prevent public access. As ever, when tackling an unfamiliar subject matter, it takes me a while to get in to my stride but by the end of this morning there was light at the end of the tunnel (no pun intended).
Several people waved and knocked on the windows and I saw a couple read the information sheets. It is quite strange being so exposed but so far the reaction seems to be positive.
