Nearly there! This next submission is an observation of Sibsey Trader Windmill in Lincolnshire. The Mill is a working Victorian flour mill, one of the few six-sailed mills remaining in England, built in the typical Lincolnshire style in 1877 with its onion cap top design. What struck me most about the mill (and which is probably very obvious) is that is is created by multiple circles: the tower, the sails, wrought iron balcony, mill stones etc. My drawing endeavoured to capture the circular elements and they are presented here in gradually descending sizes to represent the grinding to grains into smaller and finer elements, ultimately flour. Initially I created this with randomly spread circles of varying sizes, but I felt it worked better in a more structured style. I have left this image as black and white, as the windmill is with brickwork painted with tar, and the sails and balcony all white.
