The 'car park' that is Burnham Market
This is the 5th and final sketch done while I was on my Norfolk holiday. I had to finish the painting bit at home because I ran out of time. The title of this sketch comes from the fact that Burnham Market (aka Chelsea-on-Sea because of all the posh London second home owners) is a beautiful village which is totally and utterly spoiled by the number of cars that are always parked in it. You enter the lovely centre with the village green, with babbling brook running down one side, and all you can see is CARS! It is a terrible shame. I liked the view towards the church, but had to include the inevitable wall to wall cars. I wish I'd had more time to do more sketches, but I did my best in three days. I have taken photos and might try a few more from those, but it is not the same as being there. Pen and wash in my A4 sketchbook.
