Title: Artist at work, Bristol Temple Meads. Post by: JayMac on October 29, 2016, 13:49:11 Whilst waiting for the 1847 to Avonmouth on Friday 28th October 2016 I was able to watch this chap at work on platform 3 at Bristol TM, composing a charcoal drawing of the scene.

I saw her there a few times, so she was taking it very seriously, and similarly the painting looked very professional.
