Leaves From My Sketchbooks. 68. Hop Drying Kiln, Bushy Park, New Norfolk, Tasmania
This was hop drying on a large, industrial scale and yet because function dictated the form of these buildings they had a rare grace and dignity. Although I sketched this en plein air I took a bit of extra time over it, the shapes are deceptively complicated and consequently the perspective is demanding.
The funny thing was that I saw nobody and I worked in complete silence as if in a dream.
