One of your best I think Lew! Super expressions and detail, and I like the background very much. I’m going to show this to my boule playing pal. 👏🏼

Superb work Lew , I like the little touches like the beget in the pocket. I think the background is excellent and brings it all together nicely.

So many great characters full of expression and those in the background too

Magnifique. Who else would have thought of that baguette in the jacket pocket?

They look unimpressed with his bowling skills….are those plane trees? Every touch a winner Lew.

Fantastic Lewis, three brilliant characters and those little details that are a hallmark of your work

The one in the middle can’t believe where his boule ended up…brilliant! Wonderful drawing Lew, you capture expressions so well.

An absolute cracker Lewis. It sort of brings together all your art life expertise for me. The image speaks so much.

Thanks again to all for your generous comments. Marjorie...the trees are just made up...but if they remind you of plane trees that's good.

Brilliant Lewis! One of your best! Here they play Botchi, very similar to Boule!!

Fabulous Lewis. Love it- especially the one expression of the boules player in the middle!

Posted by Christine Rogan on Fri 04 Oct 16:22:20

Always a great bunch of characters from you, Lewis. I too, like the background. Also the baguette in the pocket, nice touch.

I'd intended to draw the players full figure, but as I need to draw larger these days I changed my mind. Watercolour, gouache and coloured pencil.

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
