Excellent work again Derek in the cart and horses

Sometimes they give money))

I find doing this sort of thing very satisfying - interesting work.

Yes I do and did last night thanks Frank

I like your sketches Derek and it keeps you out of mischief! What's a "hash run"?

Yes these are good sketches Derek.

This reminds of the time I was in a café and there was this chap sitting there in perfect light, perfect pose, would have been superb portrait painting. Did I have the guts to say, I'm an artist. Please may I get my camera and sketch book out and capture you for posterity? The angles and planes were so dramatic. No I did not ask!

Thanks Adele, Carole and Gudrun. I don't ask but if they're still there when I finish I usually show them and be prepared to run!

You've captured loads of poses, moves and body language in both pages of your sketchbook, Derek, Great stuff!

There was a hash run last night my wife wanted to do so as there was no football on telly I went along for the camaraderie. The gang went off for about an hour so I sat in the pub with a pint and sketched various groups and figures. Great practice, then one of them recognised me and asked to see them, she showed to the other 5 in the first sketch and the chat developed.

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.
