Lovely work Michael, just detail in the stonework, tree and building beyond, a lovely drawing

Thanks Ros - not sure if I will paint it but maybe...!

A beautiful little sketch in it's own right Michael.

I recently did a commission of a large house and in doing so took quite a few photos. With a few moments to spare this afternoon I came across one I took of the gate and decided to do a quick pen sketch of it and here it is. I really haven't the patience to do detailed drawings and anyway I get more enjoyment out of working quickly. The two posts really are both leaning a bit and the benefit of doing a sketch such as this is that it helps if ever you turn it into a painting - in this case I would exaggerate the leaning a tad more. Anyway I hope you like it.
