That's excellent, Jenny. I can understand it will have taken time, but well worth the effort.

Beautifully sketched Jenny, loads to look at and great detail.

Well done Jenny, some super drawing and thought gone into this piece!

All good sketches - am with you, I'm drawn to detail (excuse the pun!)

This fits so well together and would make a lovely mural. Love all the design aspect and the reduced simplicity of the images. Great stuff Jenny.

Really interesting format plus excellent sketches.

Your effort looks effortless! These are really great images, and I can well understand how long each took! Well worth it all!

I can see more detail here than on the forum, you have set a very high bar Jenny!

What a very good collection of drawings.

Many thanks, Stephen, Thalia, Katy and Richard, for your lovely comments. (I did spend quite a bit of time beforehand selecting the images and deciding where to place them - that was the easy bit!)

(Eight squares, eight sketches, home or garden). Thought I’d have one more go at this using scenes from my garden. I took photos first on my iPad and worked from the comfort of a cool room indoors!
