Not a new one - done a few years ago for one of Dawn’s monthly challenges, but seems fitting.  Love what Stephen, Julie and Lewis have posted already, great variety.

You have all,posted some excellent work, I’m posting a few of my older pieces the two sketch’s were done last week , the more detailed one is for a future painting. I’m hopeful of being able to work again by the end of the day as I can now use my hand a bit better. All include Thames barges in the scene.

This decrepit little guy is supposed to be a cheeky Cockney Sparrow,   Sadly I couldn’t see him very well so he is a tad bedraggled.

Thank you Julie , Sylvia he’s a fine looking sparrow , town sparrows are a lot more tatty than their country cousins.

I agree that sparrow is a proper londoner.

Lewis my grandfather on my mothers side came from the East end. He lost his lega at Dunkirk and in the 1950s he was living in Eastbourne. He had this hideous (for the time ) artificial leg from Roehampton.  He would sit there with safety pin in hand eating winkles.. Picture brought back a distant memory, and made me laugh

‘Sparras’ were everywhere when I lived in London…Sylvia’s pic sums them up nicely.  Don’t see so many down here (near Portsmouth.  Hope they’re aren’t in decline.   Winkles were everywhere too.  The food I remember from growing up in London was winkles and dripping sandwiches.  We knew how to live in the 40s-50s. Wouldn’t want to live there now.  I like to visit, but Tessa’s pic reminds of the pain…maybe over time ‘ulez’ will morph into a swear word.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

All good stuff, but the drawing by Stephen Kelly reminds me of a lost era of classic ships and dockside industry - remarkable bit of work.

Thank you Robert for the compliment, as I to say to my wife, anyone can draw, it's only practice.
