Love these Derek, cafe scenes are wonderful for capturing people in a relaxed state, a nice mix between the two sketches of simple and complicated, well done on both.

I like how you suggest the large number of boats and masts.

Just great Derek. We are off to the Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay on Thursday. It's a brilliant place for sketching. If the weathers bad we can sit inside and draw the chimps.

In a huge pub/winebar in Ocean Village Southampton. Two pages of A4 sketch book. On arrival 3 girls at a window seat, so Igot them and then moved outside, found shelter from a brisk breeze off the ocean and got an ink sketch from behind the Yacht Club

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.
