Has that fresh, on the spot feel to it, well done.

Good work with the reed pen Emma, I can't get lines as fine as that with mine. it will make a good painting, I would be inclined to move the building across so that the L/H tree is not obliterating the Abbey quite so much.

Great light in this, Emma, definitely worth a painting as well. Love the reed pen work!

What a great piece Emma, I think it will make a super painting.

I has a nice mistiness about it Emma.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement and advice. Alan, you could be right, I'll do some rougher drawings to try different compositions.
