Anglers Angle

I drew the Mansion (see two posts below) and didn't have time to photograph it as it had to reach its destination in time for Christmas - It turned out fine considering the building was white and there was so much grass: not always the best combination for pen & ink.

I have now started the six fish. Here's the first finished, the Cod. As usual, the drawing is better than the photography!

Pen and Ink
15 inch x 10 inch
I had lots of brushes, canvases, pens and a great studio light for Christmas, so I have no excuses for not to churning them out!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO MY ALL 
MY DEAR BLOGGING FRIENDS

  1. John, so easy to see that each piece takes quite a bit of time. Not an excuse but a fact. Cut yourself some slack! The fish looks amazing!
