Crystal clear look to this. Barges are terrific, with wonderful line work. Impressively painted as always.

Super piece Alan - out of interest what do you use for white - my own preference is for white acrylic ink - just wondering.

Beautiful work Alan, lovely harmonizing colours.

Thank you for some lovely comments, hardly worthy for this quickie but i'll take all I can these days. Michael, I've never tried white acrylic ink, I may just give it a go, this is Pelikan Plaka, a casein based waterproof product, Jackson's stock it I think, it flows nicely from my rigger, been using it since the '80's, they do a few nice earth colours also.

Has a lovely warmth to it.

Another beauty Alan! I love your use of black for the free-flowing lines.

Thanks Alan - I'll see if I can get a bottle with next order.

Alan - I see Curtis Ward stock them and I get my acrylic inks from them - might even give them a go for my abstract work - thanks for the tip.

Redolent of Rowland Hilder, but very much your own.
