Linocut based on a photo done on the actual staircase in the hotel we stayed in Paris:
Hotel near Elephant and Castle
Here’s the fresh update from the chilly London streets – a small crossroads near Elephant and Castle tube, I was sitting next to the entrance to one of Southbank’s University branches. It was some hotel in front of me with a quite queerly-looking cafe on the ground floor.
It wasn’t anything like a cold weather today, but after an hour of sketching I noticed my teeth chattering with cold… will take a hot thermos with me next time!
