Oh, yes! I can hear those cannons loud and clear, Derek! I'll bet you had fun painting and conducting at the same time on this one? Brilliant.

Cheers Jennifer. Thought about during the show on Friday and started Saturday. Good fun trying to find references to the date, which of course finished the concert.

I like the lettering on this very exciting painting Derek. How did you do that? Is it white pencil?

really evokes the scene = exciting piece Derek

You're a hotbed of ideas and creativity, Derek! Full of intrigue and interest, this painting could keep the viewer occupied for a long time. Well done!

I can feel the energy here. Good job!

You have caught the music and the event so expressively Derek in full colour

If you could paint bangs , whistles and fireworks Derek this is it! Buzzing!

Thanks Louise, Michael, Seok, Ivan. dennis and Fiona.<br /><br />I used a United Office Metallic Marker for the white text. Still experimenting and got some others on order. Amanda has also provided me with some info on what she uses.<br /><br />Started with an all over blue/purple tone then dribbles of ink of all colours and tipping the ground different ways.

Splendid, Derek! Love the Napoleonic figure in the top left!

Thanks Amanda, he either was born or died that year. Cheated and used a bad digi image of him but it seemed to fit.

Lots to look at, very lively work!

Oh, I can hear that!

Thank you Debs and Carole
