Good one Mike, liked reading how you painted this

Interesting to read your method Mike. It certainly does emphasis the tonal contrasts . Nice one.

The pointy hills of NZ. Lovey scene. I like the monochrome too.

Certainly a great transformation from the monochrome underpainting.

Always good to see how you create these, Mike. You get great results.

I like to read and see your method of painting Mike. I enjoyed your Batik work.

my thanks for the encouragement , always appreciated. In this case the inkwork was accomplished using the trusty matchstick as the base for the painting. Keeps me out of mischief !!

This is beautiful Mike.

and again my thanks. Sandra , note your additional comments and thankyou , have to confess that showing the paintings is as far as I venture into the system.
