After visiting IWM north, waiting for our daughter to have another interview (still not successful) at Salford Art Gallery and Museum, a pub lunch at the Old Pint Pot…we then went for a walk in Peel Park again and I sketched this. I sketched there in August 2024 (see sketch No.22-2803)….this time I chose a slightly different spot to sit and didn’t use any ink like I usually do.

On Sunday 4th August we started our day with a trip to Fred Aldous (my favourite art shop in Manchester) where I restrained myself and only bought two packets of SeaWhite paper (we don’t have enough weight allowance for me to bring much back to the Philippines). Then we visited Salford Museum and Art Gallery and walked around the nearby Peel Park. I sketched this while my wife and daughter wandered off to see “the meadow” which is in a meander of the river Irwell. The statue is of Joseph Brotherton, representative of the borough of Salford in the House of Commons for 24 years (from 1832 to 1857).
