Thanks guy, I’m starting to stagnate a bit with the Thames series, but I’ve probably done several dozen. I’m looking for a new approach rather than pen and ink… I’ve got some ideas!

Oh yes, right up my street (not literally of course), like this a lot Alan

A fine strong piece of work. The free interpretation of its intricacies works perfectly.

Lovely.......and more to come. Can't wait to see. Using a gray background will also bring a somber view, interesting.
