My way of celebrating part of Matariki this year was to coast around the neighbourhood on my bike until I found something interesting to sketch. The perfect way to spend a public holiday I reckon. For some reason this pretty typical Grey Lynn street caught the eye but I soon realised it felt restricted on the page – so I tore another page out of the sketchbook (I never do that!) and tacked it on the side. Maybe I'll do more of these. The result gives a much better idea of what the streets around here look like...
This place on Great North Road has quite a collection of interesting old cars – 3 Cadillacs and an 80's Ford Falcon. Not sure of the ages on the Cadillacs – it's a bit hard to tell without knowing a bit more about the models.
