👍Once again for me Alan, your construction lines make the sketch sparkle.

That grey marker is so effective in these sketches Alan, it highlights the highlights!

That lovely bridge brings it all together.

Wonderful, scribbly sketch Al. Which bridge is it, Town bridge?

Very free flowing work Alan, there’s a feeling of wide expanse to that river

Thanks guys, much appreciated… yes Fiona, the not very interesting Town Bridge, the Stump is just out of sight. The sluice bridge is much more interesting…

Really good - look forward to seeing the oils.

This is a lovely drawing Alan, Boston has a lot of character and you have conveyed it here really well.

Beautiful, How much do you think is a fair price for me to have the right to use this photo

I’m developing some more ideas for oil paintings, so these little sketches are just trial and error at this stage. Always useful to sketch out and research a few ideas before committing to canvas. Strathmore toned grey sketchbook.
