Lovely Stephen. Nice composition. The birds are a nice touch.

Yes, my first thought, good composition - and excellent tones Stephen.

Many thanks Henry and Marjorie. It is good practice to do these little tonal sketches. I remember reading an article in Leisure Painter some time ago, suggesting doing this before painting from a photograph, to simplify the scene. As with many things, that went by the wayside!
