A super sketch, with jus the right amount of information. It's really lovely.

Thank you very much, Seok Yam Chew. [Sorry the pic is so small. I think I need to upgrade my digital camera.] Please tell me one of your portfolio names so I can see your pictures. Thank you.

I really like the look of this painting, but do want to see a bigger image for a closer look at the way you have painted all the detail. From what I can see, you seem to have treated the distant fields, hills and hedgerows wonderfully well with lightness and variations of colour. The monument glistens in the foreground and provides a focus for attention. A really good painting.

Thanks Thea, I will borrow my son's better camera and post another higher definition pic of it in a few days if I can.

Painting in sketchbook across two pages, with two visits to the Memorial to make the picture on the spot. Lovely place to paint.
