Alan, I love the series of ink and wash sketches you've posted recently - they're really striking and always stand out on the gallery - lovely choice of colours as well.

It may be last, but there's nothing least about it.

A cracker........but that tree. It looks too neat against the gable of the structure and suggests that there is no side chapel to the far side. Sure it's unlike you to cock it up Alan but.....

Striking with the light on this, Alan. Lovely pen and ink work, as usual.

Cheers everyone for your encouraging remarks. Derek, that is a Yew tree set back about 30 foot from the entrance to the church and goes down a slope, I did think that it looked alright, but my eyes can deceive me!

Yes, this is my last drawing of this beautiful Norman church, well in ink anyway. I have moved on to resume my oil painting and get stuck into something more substancial, presently working on three 20in square landscapes from my local area which will be completed this week.
