Leaves From My Sketchbooks. 45. The End, Buckland Ripers Manor, Upwey, Dorset
Friends live in this
portion of a mid-eighteenth century manor house in Dorset, England. I chose to
sketch it through a profusion of garden growth because that's the atmosphere of
the place: quiet, dignified and nestled in verdant garden at the end of a wooded
country lane.
It was once shielded
by elm trees in which rooks nested and cawed incessantly but Dutch elm disease
changed things for ever .
