This is super Derek love how you’ve tackled the roof. I’ll study it as I want to do a red brick wall without it looking blocky.

As someone else commented very evocative. I like the little grouping of soldiers.

Thank you Fiona, Janet and dennis. Not my work of course, just added colour, but meaning to do it since I bought the book.

That's a super piece, Derek. You've captured much of the time and ambience of the era.

Thank Seok, of course I was just colouring in. Sacco's work and I printed it

A4 print on my Canon Pixma, so no quality paper, of one his suberb B&W illustrations in his book The Great War, I bought at The Thiepval Memorial when visiting The Somme last year. Something to do on this bleak morning waiting for the Rugby to start, adding watercolour with a No12 Rosemary, Cor! Haven't had it for a while!
