Crooked Houses

I love the wonky old Tudor houses. They're really lovely in my opinion. I like the way they're not symmetrical. They're unexpected inside and out and I like the way time has made the floors dip one side and the houses lean as they've settled. This drawing is a generalised drawing. I just happen to be drawing them at the moment as it interests me. Mum and I visited Christchurch park in Ipswich yesterday and went to Christchurch mansion. It's full of beautiful and odd rooms. I love the little panelled rooms and the leaded windows and the heavy wooden furniture. I also visited the Constable and Gainsborough exhibition that they have on there at the moment. Some of those were very nice and I found a painting that Constable had done of Holywells Park in Ipswich, particularly fascinating. I was very annoyed with my Flo cat this week after finding a dead wren on our patio. We had words. We've made up again now.
