Long Causeway is a street in the middle of Peterborough, UK.
The first time I sat on the benches in and around peterborough, where I walked to work and shopped, I can remember finishing them or so I thought and a friend at work said they’re doing it to annoy you. I said ‘doing what?’ and they told me that lots more benches were b eing put into Lond Causeway. It’s a strange place for me to judge what is a bench and what is a bench view as lots of the benches don’t have backs and are curved so you can sit facing both ways and in all sorts of directions.
This is a typical example of things we chose to leave out. Those few lines in the background right side of the drawing was lots of buildings. I wanted to focus on the signs and benches and the electric wheelchairs which whizzed passed.
My theme for A to Z Blogging Challenge is my Bench Views Revisited illustrations done from benches in and around Peterborough UK which I started in September 2019. I drew No. 88 in February 2020 then lockdown hit. I restarted the series in August 2020 which meant almost half the series were drawn pre-covid lockdown and the rest of the 190 illustrations were done post COVID-19 lockdown.

I’m really quite smitten with your sketches.
Glad you like them. Thanks
When is a bench not a bench? Those are lovely 🙂
I prefer benches with backs but yes they’re nice benches. A bench is not a bench when it’s a chair or when it’s a log?
Beautifully illustrated I must say 🙂
I love doing the bench views and it adds to the pleasure of being creative when others appretiate them. Thanks Damyanti.
Nice drawing. It captures a peacefulness. I’d like to take a stroll down this street, but only sit on a bench if I got a bit tired.
