I see that you have come back from you holiday rejuvenated and raring to go! This is full of vitality and wonderfully well drawn in your signature loose style. Great colours and an altogether brilliant sketch.

Thank you Thea, Sarah, Carole, Dennis, Derek and Stephen for you kind words which are much appreciated as you've probably guessed by now. I'm not sure whether I'd sketch quite so much if it wasn't for this site and such encouraging words from you. This was very quick sketch, no pre drawing and lots of continuous lines. Not much thought went in to it either if I'm honest and I used a photo provided by my daughter as my reference, I wasn't actually there!

A lovely lively painting Louise, you've really captured the fun of a northern knees up! I totally agree with your comments about the POL site, I feel we're among friends.

Great sketch, love all the hustle and bustle and the bunting! Got slightly sunburned in my back garden a couple of days ago making bunting :(
