Another very good local pen and wash Alan (I like those ivy clad trees too)

Excellent drawing Alan, I love that curve leading into the drawing

This is really good Alan.

A great piece Alan , ivy clad trees looks so good I can understand the attraction to them, a lady recently referred to one I had done as a tree with its kilt on , like the idea of that .

Excellently done with your usual skills. I too like ivy on trees, and fences for that matter. It can be invasive but the trees seem to cope with it.

Great sketch Alan. I paid £1.80 ltr for diesel yesterday, unbelievable.

Like it very much !!

Full of information without becoming “ particular” but that’s your forte Alan.

Excellent monochrome sketch Alan.

A fabulous sketch Alan - again!

Simply tremendous Alan

Really good, love the trees.

Superbly done

Another super sketch Alan, make a great painting.🙏👌👍

Plein air Pen and wash sketched from the front seat of the car… tone added later - this place is five minutes drive away from my home, I’m keeping very local at the moment because of the fuel issues. The central tree is what initially caught my attention, I love ivy-clad oaks.
