Many thanks Jim, Louise and Carole. I went down yesterday to sketch him. Luckily a brief ray of sunshine appeared so I was able to get some rather nice shadows on his face.

This is such a good sketch Alan, it reminds me of the one's my dad used to draw, I still have one of his Pal, but it was the second world war, drawn on a postcard as they probably couldn't get the paper in those days, memories ,😃

A very powerful study Alan with the poetic atmosphere you always give. Looking forward to full figure tho this will take some beating
