I am always attracted to sketching King's College Chapel on the Backs in Cambridge. I just love the symmetry of the building (the front and back of the chapel are almost the same) and I love the sections of greenery before it. In front of the Chapel is a beautifully manicured lawn with a path at the edge, then the river where you can just see punters . Next there is a rough patch where the cows roam before a very pretty ditch a strip of grass and then the path the public can walk along.
This sketch was made during the summer and you can see one of the iconic Red Poll cows in the foreground.
