Lovely detail Sylvia for a quick lunch hour work, poor you acquiring a flying saucer hanger on along the way!!

Very nice work Sylvia! I love the greys with a hint of pink and blue and the drawing in itself is loose but detailed at the same time.

St Winifrides Well . Holywell north Wales. Did this today a half an hour sketch A 3double. Sat in almost darkness in this very atmospheric place.
