The Not Taken Vacation: Port Sunlight Village

i was so looking forward to visiting Port Sunlight during our brief stay in Liverpool. While I have enjoyed the Beatles since the 60s, I will say I opted for gardens and museums as I prefer the countryside! However, I expect the foul weather which forced the trip we were on to bypass Dublin carried into Liverpool and rather than a bright spring day, we would have needed galoshes and slickers! So, a rough sketch of a rather lovely bridge and buildings, playing a bit with some things gleaned from my building drawing class.

When I do these not-taken-vacation sketches, I confine myself to my limited supplies I would have been using onboard. And limited room. Elements of the colors I brought with me annoy me no end, meaning no good violet at all. The same with pinks or alizarin. I may visit in my imagination to buy some extra colors….or not. Let’s see where all this takes me!
