Not really making any artistic progress

smallhobbitThe cross stitch is going well though:
And I'm already looking at which bookmark to add to my Christmas list, although nothing has leapt out at me yet. I'd like to do another Fine Art kit, but neither the DMC National Gallery nor the British Museum really inspire me.
But art wise I'm not getting anywhere. I have a daily 'slot' when I do my cross stitch, but nothing similar for art.
Here, just to prove I have done something is a couple of sketches I drew in Bessborough Gardens when I was on my way to the Tate Gallery:
Bessborough Gardens is a recent square - it was the site of Holy Trinity church which was demolished in 1954 due to bomb damage. The buildings are 1980s pastiche white stucco facade houses - which I hadn't realised. Anyway, a third floor two-bedroomed flat was on sale for £1,385,000 in May this year. So I won't be moving in anytime soon.
Lastly, have a photo of a rainbow, taken from the window of a rather less expensive Gloucester house - but we have three bedrooms.
