Nice one Michael, good sharp colours and a hell of a lot neater than my attempt.

So you're merely having fun while I'm sweating over my new painting. Nice job anyway! :)

Thanks all - keep sweating Ivan - now back to the serious stuff.

I love it too Michael! Very fresh with lovely bright colours. The twig is a bonus! The building standing straight is another bonus+

I've seen so many versions now of this scene, it's beginning to feel like that girl with the earing picture ..LOL. I must say though that this one is one of the best. Good confident drawing Michael and I didn't say oh no, not another ..honest!!!

I don't know about the challenge but I like your painting Michael very nice .

Take your point Louise - how about starting a new trend: The Boy With the Twisted Nose Ring - could become a classic - who's going first?

This is a good take on the challenge Michael.

Another good take on the challenge, I'm thinking of doing one with the girl with the pearl earing coming out of the front door! lol

I really like your version, Michael, as it has energy and a certain gung ho quality about it.

Well here's my effort - not seen the article - painted from a photo copy of the image received from a friend and fairly true to the original outline - drawn with a twig from the hedgerow and a few washes. It took about 35 mins (well with a 20 min break while the ink dried) not taken all that seriously - just a bit of fun.
