Such a great variety of shapes, from the oblong windows, to the tomb stones and the building itself. The misty background helps to give an air of granduer. Alan.

Elegant and deceptively simple.

Really beautiful pen and wash, Alan, love the soft colours.

I’m not sure if I’ve seen this aspect of it from you Alan - I like that green softness in the distance, picked up slightly in the stonework, very atmospheric.

This is glorious Alan and I love those pale blue trees/bushes in the background, sets the whole painting off perfectly.

Glorious painting Alan, truly is.

This is a cracker Alan. The composition, drawing, the tones and colours all spot on. I feel the bleak sparseness of a cold churchyard. Well done

This is a fabulous Norman church, nestled in the private estate of Lord Harrowby. I’ve painted and drawn every aspect of it over the years, and in most medium. Pen, ink and watercolour on Fabriano Artistico HP, around 11x15in
