Liking the city scapes. Hope we see the building in all it’s colourful glory Hilary! Like the way you have captured the texture of the bark inn your sketch Dixie, it has got me thinking of going out and studying different trees! Here’s an essential item of clothing when off out here, plus the mandatory face mask!

Two buildings and a beautiful bonnet nice work folks. Hope you soon get settled in Ron and back to painting and sketching.
I’m killing two birds with one stone so to speak, my offering is the basic layout for a watercolour painting of a Clyde Puffer boat , delivering coal etc to the island and highlands. Once a very comment event theses 100 ft ships were a life saver for isolated coastal communities. Some still ran until the late 1990s.
And a little more finished version!

Thanks Hilary and Dixie. Not content with one old car Dixie!? I remember when I was a child my dad would take me to the scrapyard hunting for a spare part for an old car, in the days when you could fix your own car problem and pre-ordering from the Internet! Simpler days...and good memories of a different world.

Piles of cars and books - great subjects and well depicted. Paul, I’m looking forward to your painting of the puffer as it is one of my favourite things. I grew up with Para Handy and the puffers that sailed the Forth & Clyde canal, where I grew up. In fact they built puffers at one end of the town (Kirkintilloch).

So many really good sketches since I’ve been away and on a self imposed ‘no screen’ holiday, I shan’t comment because I’m bound to miss one out but I did have a chuckle at the barbershop, Tessa, as I’m off to the hairdressers tomorrow. I have been sketching so these are my sketches from the riverbank. One of them looks like my hair too!
