#599 – Remains of Ayala triangle

Today I cycled to Makati for a meeting and locked my bike in a rack in Ayala triangle park. The guard said I could only leave it there if I was a messenger or a customer of the nearby cafes…so after my meeting I went for a coffee and drew this. The park used to be much bigger but a big chunk of the ‘triangle’ has now been eaten up by greedy developer Ayala. You can see the construction of yet another mall/office block behind the fence.

Off to Makati today to pick up my daughter from her trip ‘Malling’, so I went early to do a sketch – this is done in watercolour, ink and watercolour pencils, sitting outside at the UCC Park Cafe next to the Glorietta mall. I struggled with the rolled up umbrella, but got it in the end I hope.
