50th World Wide Sketch Crawl



Sketch a monument etc.... the New Plymouth waterfront and its now famous walkway with the Len Lye inspired Windwand was an instant attraction for me .  A busy summers day.  MLB

The Wind Wand from Puke Ariki Landing.

Saturday was my first day out sketching for a while, and I decided to try the 'Wind Wand' again. The only problem was I got the drawing done and was ready to colour when.......it rained :( Such is life.

Here is the result anyway with the colouring done by memory.

The 'Wind Wand' is a large kinetic sculpture by Len Lye on the New Plymouth Coastal Walkway. In the foreground is another kinetic sculpture the Firkee Wala - In My Heart of Eternal Childhood by artists Lipika Sen & Prabhjyot Majithia.
