A print to
make your own.
Yellow light pools beneath the hanging lamps and travels across the panelled bar. Blue, green and violet give the room depth, while the sweep of the counter leads the eye towards the handpumps and bottles. A chair and a glass in the foreground keep the view close to the table where I sat to draw.

In my words.
I had walked through persistent rain towards Hyde, on the edge of Winchester, to visit the remains of the abbey and St Bartholomew’s. The church was closed, and even sheltering in its porch did little to keep the weather out.
On the walk back I noticed the sign for The King Alfred. After spending the morning thinking about Alfred and the traces of his abbey, the coincidence made me smile. Inside, warmth and a welcome changed the day. My hands warmed up, conversation began, and before long I was sketching.
This drawing takes me back to that change of pace: rain left at the door, the comfort of a table, and an interior gradually finding its way onto the page. A pub can offer its own kind of sanctuary.
