Ely is lovely, good sketch Alan.  Good tractor too, Paul.  I, too, have been doing time limited sketches at class. 3x5, mins 30 mins and one hour.

There are no art clubs here in Orkney which is a pity so no life models in the flesh either! God knows what they would look like if I did manage to have a go! I have just been having a play with charcoal again. Though it’s messy I really love using it! I have ordered a set of Unison pastels which was a total extravaganza at £200 ( but should have been £290) you can get away with this behaviour when you are on your own! However even I have said no more Mrs! 😂

Isn’t it too cold to expose flesh in Orkney Gillian?  I’m envious of your unison pastels though.  I have a set of Rembrandt pastels, but some there is little left of some colours.  Can you buy individual colours in any make? Nice sketch though.

Just looked Gillian, for a change no I am not.🙃 (on the gin) .  Somehow on both here and FB it does it’s own thing  and is driving me potty. Tessa can usually sort out glitches.   It’s quite inventive when I reread it.

I had a similar problem Sylvia , my ten year old granddaughter said I had enabled a drop down screen on my keyboard. She went into settings and change it on my keyboard setting and I have had no problems since , in future I will just get her to sort out my it problems.

I recognised the ring of Brodgar immediately Gillian - very striking.  Bari I had to wait for one of those frigates to pass, before the Torpoint ferry could progress the other day, HMS Westminster, I do believe.  But what do those round things on top do?  I ought to know considering where I live, but I don’t.
