Very effective ink marks and a lovely painting with great light Barry.

It definitely has an olde worlde look, but in a positive way, Barry. There are overtones of the late 19th to the early 20th centuries in the palette and scene. A super painting. Bri

Fine work from any era Barry. As ever, the figures bring the scene to life beautifully.

Amazing pen and wash painting. It does have an olde world look to it. It’s done so well I can’t believe it was done with a matchstick it’s so good.

Inspiration taken from an old black and white photo white photo but looks nothing like the original. As with most of my ink and wash work I used a sharpened matchstick to do my ink drawing before laying on my washes.
