My friend and fellow Brisbane City Sketcher Barb and I had a wonderful morning. We wandered all around the Fish Lane Precinct, taking photos and checking out future sketching opportunities..
I settled for two sketches in the early afternoon, drawn in my Handmade by me sketchbook, Saunders Waterford hp paper. I used my Lamy pen EF nib, and watercolour..
FISH LANE was named after Mr george Fish, who operated a Steam laundry in the lane. The lane was originally a track used by parishioners to get the St Thomas Church. There were three St Thomas Churches in the immediate area, 2 being demolished, and the third now houses an Accountants offices.
I was standing on the busway, just outside the Queensland Museum looking down. Lots of angles.
Sadly I do not know the name of the artist who built the Giant Cicada. A lot of our citys public art has no names on it. I think that is a terrible shame.
The Giant Cicada is positioned between the two bus lanes..
