Thanx guys, a friend of mine saw that and thought I cheated and simply printed some photo :) No cheap tricks here, pencils only!

Where in Bulgaria do you live Ivan? My son been has been living and working for a UK firm based in Sofia with his family for the past two years but is coming back to the UK later this month, the family have enjoyed their time there and we have enjoy visiting them.

I live in Plovdiv. It's about 135km from Sofia to the east.

I've visited Plovdiv to see the Roman amphitheatre, it's a beautiful city.

Yes there are a lot of interesting sightseeings downtown, probably there are many more Roman remains that are still burried.

I feel another SP in the pipeline. I shall try some different lighting.

Here's a new one, a self portrait once again. I do those rather for fun and for practice. It all started a couple of years ago when I re-entered painting. I had a bunch of pencils left from high school in one of my drawers. I found them, sharpened them and it all started again.
