piper's  FOOTSTEPS

As a long time fan of the artist John Piper, I'm on a mission to draw the places he painted. When I say 'mission', I'm dramatising of course and in these current times, there's no dashing off anywhere, let alone across country to draw a church.  Happily however, several places are in my neck of the woods and Covehithe ruin is one of them. It's a massive ruined church, with a small church built inside it, on the  very edge of the fast eroding Suffolk coast. It's spectacular.

If you're interested in John Piper, there's an episode of the South Bank Show on YouTube, early 80s where he draws this very place, so I was pleased to stand in his footsteps and sketch. The sky was immensely obliging that day, too and put on quite a show.
