Up on the roof

We were supposed to be sketching the GPO on O'Connell Street, but it was too busy for me. Too many people, too much noise. Plus I wanted a different view. So I went up to the top of Arnott's car park and was rewarded by the wonderful Dublin skyline. And lots of seagulls. It felt so good. I added grey shadows and a blue sky (acrylic markers) when I got home. Dublin is finally getting a few skyscrapers (well, not quite, but buildings that are a bit taller than the usual) and I enjoyed playing with that sense of scale. Plus the chimney pots, which are so gorgeous.
