I'd leave as is - what a great piece of work and with a matchstick too - hats of to you!

Yes! You can always do another, and paint that. But this works.

I agree, you could leave as is, and you could do another as a painting. Where is this favourite spot Mike?

My thanks for helping with the decision making !!! As is it will be. Sandra , it is on the Wanganui - Palmerston North road, 10 Kms to Rongatea (turning right) , around about the turn off to Feilding - correct spelling - (turning left)

I’d definitely leave it as it is, Mike, looks great as monochrome - and I especially like the foreground.

this was intended as the tonal ink underpainting to be topped with watercolour but am now seriously inclined to let it stand as it is. Indian ink used at 5% , 10% , 25% , 50% , and 100 % strengths - all applied using a matchstick - cut to a 45 degree angle , in a bamboo "holder". Should I leave "as is" ???
