4:30 PM VISITED DULWICH PICTURE GALLERY
http://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk
As usual, I left it really 'late' to go and visit seeing Dulwich Picture Gallery...; I believe I left home somewhere after 4:30 PM...which meant there was only 1/2 an hour left to go. When I reached the gallery, I chained up my bike outside. Walked over to the entrance...only to find the gates were 'closed'.
Decided to continue walking through the gallery...annex building; found a room where they were showing an 'old film' relating to DWG history.
When the film was finished(I didn't get to see it all the way through...having entered somewhere in the middle); I walked further along...and, read some plaque info., again, telling all about the galley history; and, it's founders: Desenfan/and, architect, John Sloane.
-(I do find history fascinating as a subject, sometimes; however, when it comes to actually remembering stuff...; dates/events...then, eventually, I tend to forget; and, will need to re-read in order to revise learning what I'd already learned before.)
Eventually, I found myself sitting on the outside of DWP building in a chair; because I'd already brought along an A4 white sketchbook with me...I decided to try drawing the building's 'outside' architecture. I'm afraid, I didn't do a very good job...lines just wouldn't line up straight...things going very wobbly, indeed!
5:30 PM VISITED BELAIR PARK
I rode my bike into Belair Park...where I stopped to feed the ducks 1 whole loaf of French stick bread.
Afterwards, I sat down on a park bench...and, attempted to draw the ducks...again, not very well, I'm afraid! Finally, I just gave up...; going all the way back home, again.

NOTE: Looking back on this post, now; I think, it might have been Monday that DPG was shut; as they don't open on Monday's/however, on Sunday's they are open.
