Lovely immediacy to the piece, Derek. I like how you captured the essence of the scene and the very bold use of marks and lines.

Thanks Seok. The beer was more expensive which is getting down marks in the pub list.

Beautiful sketch, Derek, well done.

Nicely done Derek, minimal lines and colour also like the lines in the foreground of benches etc not coloured shows the immediacy , true sketchiness of it, nice one.

Thanks Cesare and Malcolm. The benches etc are too numerous and would detract from the building. I missed a lot of shadpws really, but it was quick.

The group were sketching along the Keats Walk from cathedral ending conveniently at one of my fave pubs - The Bell at St Cross. I had other things to do and went straight to the pub - what else? and got this work in. The suggestion of a property at right was a pals super flat and now they are in Drumnadrokit or somewhere with a B&B so I will send them this as a gift.

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.
