I do admire your tenacity Derek and you've done a tremendous job of the whole series of curves and circles.

This is awesome, Derek! I love the feel of this painting. It makes we want to poke around the dusty corners of the room and see what's up beyond the rafters. Hats off to you, sir !

Thanks Bob, now aiming to start a piece from a sketch, using more brushes if possible and see how that works out.

Your drive is an inspiration ! .... I don't mean where you put your car!!

21 x 18cms on paper. No hiding here, set myself a challenge picking this subject from my pen and pencil sketches, knowing I couldn't achieve all the curves with cards and thinking I must try brushes although small ones. So the big shapes were using my cards, all the curves with a 0 brush. The curves have taken me over two not full days and I have gone over them and tweaked them several times with very shaky hands and fingers that want to do their own thing. Used my own colours.
