The town you grew up in, Lyndhurst, Ann Hyde

I grew up on the edge of the New Forest, in fact the road I actually lived in lead through to the forest itself.  Now it is considered to be In the Forest, but I think because the New Forest is now officially a National Park, they have ----stretched---- the boundaries somewhat.    We had several towns around us, so for this theme I will visit some of them with my sketching. 

The first is Lyndhurst.  Known as the Capital of the New Forest, my mum and dad were both born there and I had cousins there on my dad's side.

in this sketch I seem to have inadvertently widened the street,
never mind.

here's photo of it from street view

  2. Very nice color sketches indeed! Fresh and spontaneous. In Kansas such places are few and far between.

    1. Thanks very much Jerry. I'm enjoying looking back at the place I was brought up in. Google Street View is being very useful.
