Hiroshima day-3

21°C, winds with showers

Just watched an outstanding documentary on BBC4. It was about the bombing of Hiroshima on teh 6th Aug. 1945. The way it was filmed, directed and edited was masterful. Stunning.
 
the sharpener picture just won’t lie! I finished it this morning the decision to start another similar one was looming. I may make a real effort for that one- base the picture on the drawing much more closely, get a good quality canvas, and put more gesso on this time. It ought to be a bit larger too. It’s going to be good tohave two majour picture on the go again concurrently.
 
Ready to go cycling now, no longer feeling mildly ill ( as I have since Monday)
 
Further reading: On this day in history ( from the History Channel)

  1. great pictures! the web publisher is indeed quite buggy (i recently lost quite a big blog I’d typed because it seems to ‘timeout’ after a while) best thing to do is type them up in word then paste them in.Tom

  3. The only trouble with that is the rather odd way that Word handles formatting which does paste across, but inessence yes- I will take your advice. alittle html editing clears it up.
