Fountains Abbey was founded by monks from St Mary's Abbey in York who were dissatisfied with the way the monastic rules were being followed. The dispute came to a head in 1132 when they were offered sanctuary in Ripon by Archbishop of York Thurstan. He gave them a parcel of land in the valley of the River Skell, just outside Ripon. By 1135 Fountains had been founded, with direct support from the head of the Cistercian order. From then onwards Fountains grew in wealth and influence. This is reflected in the many phases of building that can be traced in the fabric which survived the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s under Henry VIII. The older parts are to the west, left in the drawing, while newer and grander buildings were built or adapted towards the east as abbots sought make the buildings more fitting for their grander position in society. Had they not been demolished after the Dissolution this view would have been dominated by the Abbott's residence which was in keeping with his being a 'mitred abbot', a status on a par with a bishop, and with a seat in the governing House of Lords.
I drew this pregnant nude as a gift for my friend Lisa, who is soon to give birth. My intent was to remind her of the wonderful beauty of the pregnant woman :)
This is what happens when you finish doing inventory and everybody else is still doing it. Then the computer goes down.

For this homework, which is also the assessment task, I chose a pansy because I thought it was going to be 'easy'. Nothing is 'easy'. I find drawing flowers difficult.
I now have three pots of pansies without flowers, and one pot without flowers as well as an exposed root system, which is still in the fridge. I shall plant it again tomorrow.
I probably will trace this again and use it as my final, coloured submission in week 6. This may give me some time to practise painting with watercolour.
