Great David, a lot of windows!

It works really well David.

Lots of work in this one, really good.

Intricate work, David, the addition of people brings the scene to life. The blackened sky is dramatic, a good idea.

Fabulous and there's lots of drama (and windows) in this

This is superb, very skilfully done.

Really lovely work, David.

Brave of you to rework this; it could have gone very wrong, and that'd be a lot of fine drawing ruined! But it has worked well.

Such tremendous detail and outstanding tenacity, achieving such a brilliant result. Lovely art work David.

Nice work David. Like the dark sky against the houses. Is it pencils or watercolor??

Thank you all for your very kind comments. Robert - I was quite apprehensive when I started to blacken in the sky but it does seem to have worked! Magdalena - it is actually black ink!!

Very good precise work here

Thank you for your kind comment, Martin!

Yes, the sky illuminates and such a great drawing , it is amazing to view and the fishing boat adds premise along with quay, portrays descent well, very nice indeed David!

A superb piece of work David.

Thank you Angela, val and Martin for your kind remarks.

Thank you Maureen.
