Eddie Saves the Day

I love a good piece of art that has a story to tell.

It works really well and I like the perspective, the detail - lots of tricky angles too

I agree, love the angle. Eddie is the focus but your drawing of the house/old school is wonderful. Also- we all need an Eddie!

Excellent picture

Excellent drawing David. Fine penwork, dip-pens are unforgiving but I love 'em.

Beautifully done.

Great rendition of a tricky work both in detail and perspective. Nice work David.

Absolutely brilliant and a great story to go with it.

Thankyou everyone - glad you like it . I did enjoy doing it - in fact stayed in my pyjamas and dressing gown all day doing it and then the next day went to the Men's Shed making the wooden mount for it.

Beautiful

An immaculately drawn piece, with superb contrast of shapes, details and angles. And the bonus of a good story. Lovely work!

Again thankyou -I value all of your feedback greatly , specially as I am finally exhibiting about 100 works in 6 weeks time for the Ross Bicentennial. Only a year late !

Eddie is a chainsaw carver and all round handyman and Firewood supplier. He came to our rescue when the chimney flue had to be replaced as the old one was 75% full of dead bees when we purchased the old 1860 Primary School. This is my latest Indian ink dip pen effort but I decided to use a greenish grey gouach for the sky.
