Love these loose lively sketches Derek .... I've come across a couple of bearded ladies in my time they're not to be toyed with ...

Love these Derek, you can't beat people in a scene, and you've sketched these very observant ly and well.

Thanks Michael, dennis, Dermot and Andre. I can't be accurate with small tight lines these days and really messed up her mouth, but she was in the right place, so I gave her a big beard, seems trendy ( on men) at the moment.

In an A5 book. We had moved onto the Grand Cafe in the music in the City event it now being around five in the day. The venue was ideal for smooth music, crooners etc and my wife knew one of them. Sods law ruled he had forgotten is MP3 player, but we heard this lady so her stuff and I captured some of the other punters. You will note my error which was corrected on the spot ref a big beard, which the lady didn't have. This place used to be a huge classy hotel in the days of the Queens and other classic liners, long before cruise ships. Now an apartment building.

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.
