Brisbane City Sketchers at the Queensland Museum

The Queensland Museum was founded by the Queensland Philosophical Society on 20 January 1862, and has occupied many buildings over the years.. the present building since 1986.  The museum is also a world-class research facility in the fields of biodiversity, geoscience and cultural history.

I sat on the Museum Green in the sun to draw this. :-)

A very fun morning with the Brisbane City Sketchers in South Brisbane.  The Fox Hotel is a gem!

The four storied Fox Hotel was originally constructed in the late 1800s. It started life as The Terminus, because it marked the end of the Tram

A very fun morning with the Brisbane City Sketchers in South Brisbane.  The Fox Hotel is a gem!

The four storied Fox Hotel was originally constructed in the late 1800s. It started life as The Terminus, because it marked the end of the Tram route.. The Fox has had 6 name changes in its lifetime!  The inside has  a lot of the original features, including a Grand Staircase! I love going there, specially for dinner.

It was beautiful this morning on the river, Southside.  We are having a heart-wave, but I swear it was 5 deg cooler on the river than at my home!

I took my postcard book with me today, and my handmade sketchbook.

It is Melbourne Cup day, the famous horse race, so I suspect the majority of our BCSketchers were at Cup Day parties.  John H and I were the only two who ventured out.  I had a really good morning, doing what I love.

This drawing was done in my handmade sketchbook.  I was drawn to the scene by the smoke stack and the pelican sunning himself getting dry.  It is incredibly hot for our wildlife too!

Hamilton is an Elite area, lots of houses all vying for position on Hamilton Hill.  I would hate the crowding up there myself.
