I trust you answered "yes" to that question? As in, well, as it happens - you need really to blush modestly here, and look down to your shoes, shuffling them a little - I am the great Martin Williamson. They will gasp at this point, and press their autograph books upon you; you should make an initial show of reluctance - grabbing at them could give the whole game away - but allow yourself to be talked into it for the price of a pint. They go home happy they've had a brush with one of the immortals, and you get a pint of the best and brightest. Contentment all round. And anyway, it's all a matter of time: fame will be yours, if the world has any sense at all. Well, it hasn't, has it? But there must be hope for all of us, published, as we are, for all the world to see on POL. Let us head together to the broad, sunlit uplands ..... we have a form of fame, at least! OK, I'll have a mug of black coffee now.

Oh ah, that reminds me; good painting/sketch, I hope you do work it up into a full painting.

The road to the right makes the composition work with the barn dead centre - imho A signed painting later sent to the autograph hunter would be a fair deal after money changed hands!

Hee hee! I like your style Robert - thanks! And cheers James :-)

Returned to the windswept moors above Cullingworth on Saturday morning and revisited this ruined barn that caught my eye a few weeks ago. I set up my easel at the roadside and did this quick (30 minute) 'plein-air' study. Whilst I was painting a couple of people stopped to see what I was up to - one even asked if I was famous and should she be asking for my autograph! I might even work it up into a large acrylic on canvas - watch this space... Pen, brush and ink with wax resist. 15" x 22"
