You can learn so much from graveyards. I very much like the tall format and your subtle palette Andrew.

Hanging around another graveyard ...this is the tomb of John Newton (1725-1807) who penned the words to "Amazing Grace". He is buried with his wife Mary in the graveyard of St Peter & Paul, Olney. Pen and Watercolour wash - 13 x 21cm in my sketchbook.
