| This is one of three statues of dark hooded figures, standing beside one another outside the Church of Ireland in Fermoy. I found its gothic look and the drapery an intriguing subject to draw. It was done with a Conte Pierre Noire black pencil. Perhaps I could have used a more interesting angle. |

| Small scale sketch in pencil. This was done quickly when outside the county hall in Cork. I think they were prominent union men at one time. Now I will resist saying anything controversial about the County Hall...The day was sunny so there was plenty of light and shadow. I sketched these statues while sitting on a low wall, but I would have liked to have been able to obtain an even lower angle so that they would look larger and have more impact. |
