Yep, another market scene, Northcote Road at the end of the day, for this one I used the Artrage app, I like using the pallet knife and the messiness you can easily generate. it's hard to make a real mess in most drawing apps. I never seem to get bored with markets, they are also quite messy places!
Below, Dawson Heights in Forest Hill/East Dulwich, designed by the then 26 year old architect Kate Macintosh, built between 1964-1972. I was shocked to read recently they were turned down for listing by the Secretary of State, whoever that is, even though English Heritage recommended they were listed. I think they are intricate and endlessly interesting, you get so many variations on the view and a new way of seeing them just by approaching from a slightly different angle. Coming down York Hill in West Norwood you see them from the side, like space stations, at other times, up close they look like Italian Mountain villages or ziggurats. When we were kids we called them the 'battleships', at night they do look like enormous liners cruising through South East London.
