in the shade

Hello Ruthie, thanks for your kind comments on 'Happy Faces'. I think your pen sketches are brilliant. The very dark tones on the sketch make a striking picture, and show great strength to the stones. Carole.

I think this shows a more confident Ruth. Really good work like it!

thankyou both for your comments.........

Hello Ruthy, Lovely sketch book work, keep it up, Regards, Joe.

Have you tried moving out from your sketch book Ruth you have a good strong feeling for line... Deserves more than a sketch book. Thank you for your comment... The Bowl effects are as you thought due to water doing its own thing.

thanks neil and joe

A very good sketch remindes me of Brimham Rocks; in north yorkshire.

i love this picture ruthy it just feel so strong,

Love your work and thank you for your kind words on my efforts

Hi Ruthy. I like this one. It's really strong and looks very human in a curious way. Is it stonehenge in England? Glad you are keeping up your entries and thanks for your kindcomments on my work. I too have given up the blog. You are right, it takes up too much valuable time.

yep was part of the bigger stones.......that make up stonehenge...........funny i though it almost looked human.........a man turned to stone.........

Thank you for your most kind comments about my work, may I now return the kindness by suggesting that I would like to see what happens if you put aside the pencil and picked up the brush, many of your sketches, excellent though they are in their own right, really do deserve the full colour treatment.

Hi Ruthey Thanks for your kind comments and fo taking the time to make them in regard to some of my pictures. In return can I say how impressive this picture is, it really is very eye catching and something I could happily hang on my wall at home. Nice one.

Fantastic Ruthy love the artwork, great strong lines on this one...thank you for makeing the time to comment...I would love to do illustration work
