Jeremy Has Sketched the Great and The Very Good

Jeremy Has Sketched The Great and The Very Good

Photo Number: 240-365
Date Taken: Friday 28 August 2009

Jeremy doesn’t live near me so only visits our park occasionally (come to think of it I never visit his park – must do) He is a classical musician and used to play with the City Of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and in the orchestra at The Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford Upon Avon. He is a compulsive artist always with his sketch book and pencil in hand and generally he wears a beret which adds to the scene. He told me he would always be sketching from the orchestra pit while there was a brake in the music; he captured all the musicians, soloists and great actors over many years. Can you imagine the content of his many sketch books? I have been talking to him about exhibiting this work and it would certainly make a very interesting Artist Talk as part of the show.
