Very nicely done Donald. I like the pointillist style foliage.

Thanks Spencer and Coral Yes, the presence of the foliage influenced the pointillism. Sometimes, the setting will provides clues for how a work should proceed.

Drawn direct from life using a limited palette. The figures entered the picture during the process. They provide a scale to the environment and the relationship with people. The park is a busy one and its winding design layout provides patterns that form a rural choreography in the heart of Central London. .I prefer an earthy approach and I don't worry if it doesn't work out.
