Comfort zone? No! Am trying to produce a “ not too tight” view of the Monument, Newcastle Haymarket. Palette knife out tomorrow I think.

You don't shirk a challenge, Marjorie, do you?  I'd say though that you've done the most difficult bit, and the rest should just be consolidation - don't you love that "just"?   I'm all for "not too tight" - I shan't say any more, though, because you don't need it: I know you won't let looseness triumph over necessary definition - never easy though, is it, to determine how much attention to give to areas beyond the focal point ..... I look forward to seeing where you go with this.

Goodness what a challenge indeed Marjorie, and it’s looking really impressive. Looks a grand view.

Marjorie I've never have tried to do any view like you doing in here. I'm not doing buildings or such at all, and I think I know the reason well - it would be going out of my comfort zone for sure ;) I'm enjoining your progress and concept a lot, it's looking very interesting already!

I’ve done all I can , maybe next time I’ll be happier with the result. The monument is the focus,  it was the rest I struggled with.
