I remember Follyfoot - and if you'd have painted a young foal too, then we'd almost have the opening scene! <br />As it is, you done a great sketch - one that I'd recognise from many country lanes.

Yes indeed, the 70s were a wonderful time to be growing up although I wasn't very happy with trying to do my homework by candlelight during power cuts! I have really enjoyed experimenting with charcoal but now I'd like to use what I've learnt and apply that with pastels and other coloured media :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423986562925121890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276062082073138496.post-13445781503888711732011-06-13T17:05:10.581+01:002011-06-13T17:05:10.581+01:00Michael, thank you for the poetry which reminds me...Michael, thank you for the poetry which reminds me of student times, flared velvet trousers, platform soles and heels and kipper ties. Those were the days!! This is a nice painting and lest the comment gets missed I would like to say how much I like your New Horizons charcoal landscape posted 9th June.It has a good convincing feel about it, all down to skilful observation and tonal interpretation.Roger Seddonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068263545031683561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276062082073138496.post-36766956528688530502011-06-13T15:57:24.121+01:002011-06-13T15:57:24.121+01:00Thank you, Lisa.

Get those tanktops and flares up on eBay - just call them Old School and you'll make an absolute fortune :o)<br /><br />I love Inktense: the only problem I've found is unactivated pigment sometimes gets activated and bleeds through if you apply water to the next page in a sketch book - result new sketch and old sketch are spoiled!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423986562925121890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276062082073138496.post-64513998108132608332011-06-13T15:40:42.677+01:002011-06-13T15:40:42.677+01:00oh dear.... isn't it cool to wear flares and t...oh dear.... isn't it cool to wear flares and tank tops anymore?.... no one told me.
