I didn't get all this done "on location" Eamon, just a very quick sketch & an even quicker photo. We were leaving when the Shepard & sheep arrived on the scene, they were gone again in a minute.

Well caught, Mary.  Given the changeable weather on the day, it's amazing that you got so much done in watercolour.

Really lovely, I hope we get to see it finished!

Thanks Sally, it was such an unexpected moment I just wanted to capture it. And we had beautiful weather on the day, that has changed since. Rain since.

Can well understand why you would be nervous of finishing Mary. But will be well worth it. Brilliant

Hi Meg, I masked off the trees behind the house that's all. I have a very fine masking fluid nozzle. The detail is courtesy of the photo I managed to get on the hop. I thought I missed the they went through so fast. I'm afraid of overworking it now.

My goodness, such delicate detail Mary... do you mask off areas at the beginning...?
