I was painting the old gates seen on this page, when a local resident came to look and chat and as I turned to respond to him I spotted this building behind him. The sky was really dramatic and I was so excited I immediately shifted to a new sheet of paper and quickly sketched it. As I said the wind was blowing so much I had to retreat to the studio and I painted the sky from memory. I went back to complete the building later. Scroll down for a detail from this painting.
