This drawing is from a photo by Ceiliog of Wet Canvas.
The image is 10″ wide by 6″ tall. Bristol board with Micron pens.
Thanks for looking. All comments invited.

Bill, I love this vignette and Microns did a wonderful job. I can sense the quaint, nostalgic feel to the old building.

I like this one very much, a most delicate style, sensitively showing the fall of light – nice.
The effect reminds me of old wood engravings of people like Thomas Bewick ,a long time hero of mine.

Mike, You are very kind. I’m honored that the drawing reminds you of such a great artist as Bewick.

Bill,
As you know, I love architectural subjects. You did a wonderful job drawing this composition with your pen and ink.

Wow, Bill! Is this the drawing that nearly made it to the bin? It’s almost ethereal, revisiting a time gone by.

Yes, I agree, has a flavour of Bewicks work. Lovely one, Bill! Would do very nicely as a reference for a wood engraving…hint, hint

Cheers, Lynn

This is beautiful Bill! I like how the delicate texture and treatment of the foreground tree is echoed through the drawing

Such a fine and delicate drawing Bill – with the barn settled nicely into the hill.
Lovely work!

Cheers, Maureen

Bill after seeing some of those comments how can I say anything different and not be chewed out. one thing I did notice though is your shadows on both wall do not match .
