Hot day today and I wasted half an hour wandering around looking for inspiration. Perspiration more like. Eventually I sat in the shade of some Bedford Square park trees and sketched this girl engrossed in her book. She disappeared towards the end, but I managed to make up the missing bits. As much as I love drawing, no pencil was used at all in this one, just painted directly in Quink ink with a brush. The grand Georgian houses recede nicely in the background thanks to a light hand. On manilla envelope paper, took about half an hour.

Hi Peter...I wish I could comment on MANY of your works! I enjoyed browsing after getting your nice comment! I appreciate your great work, having started in "commercial art" myself, and spending a lot of time as a designer and cartoonist. I love your fresh work, and fun diversions into all sorts of subjects!....ahhhhh
V....
Thanks for your lovely paragraph 'V'! Yes, I suppose it's a logical step to pursue 'fine art' after commercial art in a way. Much more enjoyable anyway ;)
love to ride my bike
