The Old Buffers

Comments

Lovely subdued palette capturing perfectly a seemingly bygone age of proper pubs in which proper people enjoy proper conversations over proper beer. Thank you.

Beautiful work great atmosphere. You feel as though you are there, looking on. Shame about the chap with the empty pint though, or can't the others keep up with him? :)
