What I really like about this is the way the draughtsmanship comes through and adds to the work .

A fresh, lively sketch as it is.

Thank you Michael and Stephen. Was just in to adding the ink work when the 1st interruption started.

Nice and lively, colourful and, I agree, great sense of draughtsmanship. Looks like a nice spot to be.

Excellent sketch Derek which will obviously work well as a finished piece at some later date. Your figure painting and drawing really add good depth and substance to your work .

I like it just the way it is, Derek. It's fresh, it's bright, it has enough colour and design to keep it interesting, and its wonderful in its simplicity.

Unfinished, talking too much at the Cathedral again. Gorgeous morning, 4 people wanted to chat, one a pal. I don't mind in the slightest but can't get on with stuff. So this is the view across the close - so far. Might finish it at home later as the scene is locked into memory.

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.
