Today I am asking for your opinions! What do you think?

The drawing is of the Filey boats (Yorkshire) pulled up high and dry after the days fishing; with the usual tourists milling around and the maintenance work ongoing. When I lived in Yorkshire, Filey was about my favorite venue to visit. Just to the right of where I am standing was the working and fishermen's men's cafe, where an amazing bacon butty was always ready, with lots of chat, gossip and good hearted banter going on. Over the years I got to know several of them quite well.

But the question: This is an A2 image and I like the draughtsmanship; but does it need colour?

Opinions please

Just at the moment I can't believe just how busy I am; it is wonderful to be so appreciated and wanted. It all feels rather good to be appreciated for your art. But apart from the workshops and commissions etc, the ongoing developmental work also continues.

The large (A2+) ink images are going ahead full steam. This work is challenging in the extreme with the size of the images creating all sorts of questions and in the learning of new skills with the pen. One of the hardest skills which I am learning are the new levels of patience and steadfastness, continuing with a piece as it slowly progresses. I am learning to be able to visualise how a piece will look in the future while it is being produced and then to carry on with the work to fruition.

Good fun and I love it; but it is hard and challenging. I hope you like the above, it is of the Basingstoke Canal as it passes close by Sainsburys near Knaphill.
