Other days we get bright blue skies and sunshine. On this occasion, I chose to ignore the old cinema we were supposed to sketch, I sat in the sun and drew the view across the little street, with its layers of roofs and chimneys, modern houses and old buildings. And it was a day that I felt reminded of how wonderful our community is. I was feeling stressed and anxious that morning. Couldn't get parking anywhere near our location. The sun was low. I couldn't see well. But when I got to the location, one of our sketchers was there, fully focused on the old cinema in Ringsend, oblivious to the cold and vans blocking her view. It felt so energising to see her there. So I sat on the other side of the street, with the sun on my back and I drew the space between the modern container house and the church in the back. It felt good. And by the way, we have a housing problem in Ireland. Why can't we make more of these container houses?
