Scanned at 2 hrs, finished at 3hrs.
Pen on W&N W/c paper, approx 8.5" x6".
Thinking about adding colour - that was the original intention - we'll see
Thank you for looking and commenting

Re: WDE Aug 28: Edinburgh Castle.
ahhh, poor Mary... it looks so desolate... no swingset outside either, on THOSE rocks! you sure cut to the heart of the matter... i could see you now coloring it up, changing the season to riotous flowers.... but it's done. great postcard... please DONT "think of me" there.... .....

Great line work, it really captures the starkness of the rocks and castle. I don't think it needs colour. Jen

wonderful Maureen. I've always liked pen work, because done right, like in this, the lack of color is actually a plus.

Great pen work and I agree that it does not need any color. It is wonderful as it is.

Re: WDE Aug 28: Edinburgh Castle.
Excellent pen work. I always like color, even a little blue to suggest winter snow, but you are busy this weekend and your pen is great.
