A cross, orchids and a bus-stop

from w
Some sketches mainly with coloured pencil are here as I try to tone down the bright colours I usually use. The new orchid is just opening and in a pot near our back door. The view from the Normanby Street bus-stop is ordinary but I had ten minutes to wait. The Altona Meadows Uniting Church looks like an aeroplane hangar and has oddly shaped windows, roof and ceilings and the placement of a cross, plotplants near a window caught my attention. This is one of the Melbourne churches where there is a Fijian congregation. I go there sometimes with Peceli. I did not draw this during worship, but later when the choir was practicing!
