St Mary Magdalene



St Mary Magdalene church, on the Sandringham estate, is quite beautiful. It's a small church that far exceeds your expectations on entry, brimming with treasures and decorative features. Whenever I visit such a place I try to purchase a guide book as a memory, I used the guide book from this Royal venue as a reference to create this spread in my journal.

I think I am missing the great outdoors...roll on Summer!

Looks like a lovely place to visit. Glad your weather is good enough to go out...is spring on it's way?

Thanks everyone.

Katy, I used Inktense pencils on this spread, lovely colours.

Joan, I sketched this from references not from life. It's freezing here, infact it started snowing again about two hours ago and it has already covered everything about an inch deep.
