Another very fine sketch Alan, I love seeing all the construction lines, and the different types of pen work well together.

I like the sentinel-like large tree by the sweep of the bridge - excellent sketch!

A cracker Alan! I think I’ve been to game fairs at Shugborough?

Much appreciated once again… yes Fiona, I used to go every year to the game show! Fabulous event as well as Weston Park of course which is another great venue!
