This is lovely David, lots of movement. I can imagine the scene now! Kay

many thanks Kay for your lovely comments

Very controlled charcoal detail-starman. Not easy doing subjects that have all the same colouring, so great on the tones David. Yes the look out carries binoculars under its chest , and a fog horn under its left wing. While under the right wing, well I will let you find out next time. You know it makes sense. I've walked the dog so it's painting time for me.

Beautiful David with gorgeous pattern quality

many thanks Dennis all the best

very witty comments as ever golden boy thankyou for your great comments .Hope Echo enjoyed his walkies with dad or did he take dad for a walk it's quite a commitment dog walking and painting isn't it

Very illustrative of a "Gaggle of Geese" They can be quite scary creatures and brilliant at chasing you off if you invade their territory! Wonderfully good control of charcoal, David.

This is wonderful David, so many geese, I wouldn't know where to start!

My goodness David, I bet this made your head hurt...is this you 'trying something different' that you spoke of doing? They all have a different expression and the rough texture of the paper has given it a lovely quality. It's brilliant David...lots of GOLD stars for you and a hug!!

So well done David. All very individual . Beautiful drawing with wonderful tones.
