Valle Crucis Abbey is in North Wales. My father was born in Wrexham and I love going to Wales. The hills have to be walked over to truly appreciate them.
I often use ink and watercolour, but here I am trying ink and gouache.
For those who are interested, this is A3 size (29.7cm x 42cm).

I am a retired man who enjoys expressing himself in pencils and paints. I have had two solo exhibitions in my home town and I love Redbubble. I get as much pleasure from viewing the works of other artists as from creating my own.

Wow, this is wonderful as all your art is.
You must have a large scanner if you can scan an A3 sheet. I have a pretty good scanner, but it will only take a little bit larger than A4.
Tom, my scanner only goes up to A4, but I use my little Canon A550 pocket camera for A3 pictures.

Very nice use of patterning to represent real forms Dave !
Have you been studying Ravillious ?
Ravilious is one of many artist I admire Andy. Others include Edward Wadsworth, William Blake, Tom McGuinness, L.S. Lowry, Tristram Hillier, Frida Kahlo, Van Gogh, Suzanne Valadon, Picasso, Dali ……. I could honestly go on listing them for hours; much quicker to say who I don’t like. Most of the artists I admire produce stylised work, although I also admire the Pre Raphaelites.

ur work seems to get better and better all the time!
its so realistic in an cartoony way if u know what i mean
the brick detail is so good
is that a cat i see in the corner? aw))
Your comments mean so much to me Zarah … because you see things in a different way to many other people. That is a good thing. “Whimsical” and “Stylised” are words I use to describe my art, but “Cartoony” fits the bill pretty well too, I guess. I admire Disney’s style and read a lot of comics in my youth, so maybe you are right. Yes, our cat Mao is peeping out to see what’s going on.
