I really like this Derek, shame about the family having to cancel the commission due to the Grandads ill health as it makes a super personalised Christmas card.

I agree with Val! Lots of movement , nice and quirky too!

Thanks Val and Sarah, I enjoyed doing it.

Yes quirky is always good in my book and this is quirky with skies on !! lol

Oops I meant skis !!

It's full of fun Derek and has a lovely 'old fashioned' look to it. I'm sure Grandad, despite his illness, would love it!

Yes thanks Debs and Christine, I reckon he will too.

Sorry I missed this, Derek, and it has been my loss because this is brilliant! I love Grandad, the daredevil skier. Really well drawn - sorry to hear about Grandad, but I bet it would give him a giggle to see it.

Thanks Thea, no worries, but yes I think he will too.

This is Ink and wash but not in the same genre as others. It was done for a families request of a pal of mine for a Christmas card as a commission but I wouldn't charge them for it. They loved it but he became seriously ill and still is and they cancelled it and went for something gentler and more in his great hooby which iss birdwatching.

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
