The Golden Cross is one of the oldest pubs in town,with records confirming its use as an inn as far back as 1428. According to a legend there is a secret tunnel that supposedly connected the inn to the nearby Old St Chad's Church allowing monks to drink in privacy! #Shrewsbury #ShropshireArt #sketch

Shrewsbury is a beautiful town with a fascinating history. As an artist, I find this town's endless surprises a constant source of inspiration for my paintings.

I remember those days. Glad to hear that the sketch triggered happy memories.

Shrewsbury's high street has been ranked as one of the best in Britain with lots of thriving independent shops.

Personally I find difficult to paint in urban spaces because of traffic fumes. The pedestrianisation in Shrewsbury really is a game-changer for artists. Having that window from 10am to 4pm transforms the town centre from a transit route into an open-air studio.

Shrewsbury shares that European "market town" DNA, but France truly elevated the daily ritual of fresh produce into an art form. It is lovely to observe French people (on foot, a bicycle or in a car) rushing to get freshly made baguettes. I miss smell of freshly made bread.

Shrewsbury is essentially a living museum, preserved within a tight loop of the River Severn. I am glad that the sketch reflects that

Milk Street in #Shrewsbury has a name rooted in its medieval past. Back then, the town centre was alive with trade, and streets like Butcher Row, Fish Street, and Milk Street marked where each type of produce was sold. #urbansketcher #shrewsburyart #sketchbook #pleinair #travelsketches #Shropshire

Fish Street sits in the heart of #Shrewsbury,marking the area where medieval fishmongers once sold their produce. The two oak‑framed cottages here were once destined for demolition to make way for the soulless architecture 70s. Australia is the new home for this painting. #ShrewsburyArt #FishStreet

Usually I sell my work at exhibitions and when people contact me on FB. Where do you live Carlos?

Cadgwith has special place in my heart. I will share some of my paintings I did there at some point. Beautiful and truly unique place.

The pasty-thieving seagull mascotβ€”it’s the most honest representation of Cornwall there is. All success to the team!

Our years of visiting Cornwall while our daughter studied there gave us a deep appreciation for its coastline. It is home to some of the most beautiful small fishing towns in the UK, each with a unique character that kept us coming back.

I can imagine that it could be pricy in tourist season. We visited it for a day and I did enjoy the atmosphere of the town.
