  3. Ditto what they said. I recognized several of the items right away. The only part I don't like is waiting for the next one from you.

  10. Thank you all folks. It took a very long time. One day I'll do a quick drawing, but I just like getting lost in something. And, this was certainly a drawing to get lost in.

    Susan, it's A4 in size.

    Cheers. I really appreciate your visits and comments.

  16. What's the size of the original? is A4= 8 x 10? I think this (or something similar) would make an amazing poster/print.) You and Mr. Roget are using your talents VERY well. BRAVA!

  17. I began to list the ones I recognised and then I said: "Oh, sod it! Just enjoy!"
    And I did, Very much.


    PS Sometimes, answering your quiz is easier than reading the word verification!!!!!

  19. Everyone's said it - you are amazing! What do you do with your drawings? Sell them one by one or as a series? Put up an exhibition, make a coffee table book?
    You teach us a lot about patience.

  20. Thank you guys.

    KnititngPainterWoman,A4 is approximately 11.5"x8" or 30cmx21cm. This drawing fills the page, apart from a small border.

    Wendy, right now I am building a portfolio with my work. A lot of it is in Moleskine sketchbooks, though.

    Thanks for the enquiries and kind words. Cheers.
