Leaves From My Sketchbooks. 58. Ruined House near Nelson



I don't for a moment suppose that this house is still there. It was obviously too far gone to restore but presented me with a joy of dilapidation. 

It occurred to me at the time that the tree might have been planted by a proud new house owner, a sapling that would one day tower over the house and long outlast it. When I drew this scene in the 1960s I used to sign all my stuff 'DF Donovan' but the vast bulk of my work has been by 'Don Donovan' in later years. Less formal.
