Market Square

Comments

Superb and well detailed picture, 👌

My goodness, how long did this take you? A masterly drawing feat!

Well done John, a super drawing.

Crazily good detail John! Very impressive.

As long as I remember my wife used to work for factory somewhere in your hometown John… It’s very detailed drawing, like a b&w photograph, nicely done.

Strong sense of scale and space here, John. Very well observed

A labour of love there John. Very impressive.

Wow John, incredible detail, superb

Some feat John. Shows the different ages of architecture and features really well

I can't thank you enough for all your lovely comments. Happy New year one and all.

Think I may have seen this on the wall of a shop in Northampton (called Collingwood) in yesterday’s episode of Money for Nothing? (Series 11 episode 8). If so, congratulations on the sale and the TV exposure.

Thank you Andrew, but whatever you saw wasn't mine ..... I hope. I've never sold any of my work (apart from one watercolour). Thanks for identifying the episode ... I'll check it out.

I looked again, it’s uncannily similar but not identical. It’s about 39 minutes in if you want to find it. All the best.

Yes, I found it and on first glance I too thought it was mine. As you said, it is remarkably similar but thankfully it is not a copy. Thank you again for the heads up.

This is a Line Drawing of my home town of Northampton. The main feature of the drawing is the Market Square which at one time was reputed to be the largest traditional open market square still in existence.
