32 Abstracts. I have a thought for these, which is in part to do more of them…. my idea is too accumulate 144 and publish in an ebook called “144 Abstracts” I’d be interested to hear people’s thoughts on the idea, and the abstracts so far.

Australian scene, “When the rains came”. Done while sitting indoors on a very rainy day.
The Alexandra Rose – Digitally executed Pencil and Was Sketch of a cottage garden favourite.
Just finished a ‘digital oil painting’, using the Procreate app (no connection except as satisfied user) of a locomotive.
This is a London and North Western Railway Webb Compound, one of the “Dreadnought” 2-2-2-0´s, built between 1884-8 and scrapped 1903-05, No. 2063 “Huskisson”, a tribute by the LNWR to the politician killed by Stephenson’s Rocket at the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. He had the sad distinction of being the first recorded railway fatality.
The locomotive is replenishing its water supply from water troughs between the rails.
St Chad’s church, Pattingham, near Wolverhampton. Painted in digital pencil and watercolour while staying indoors on a very wild and woolly afternoon. I used to stay in Pattingham sometimes, with my Aunt and Uncle, on trips back to the UK.
Drawn from imagination, digital ink and watercolour sketch. Would be a nice place to sit out the pandemic in, I think…
Great Western Railway Broad Gauge 2-4-0 ‘Fenton’ of the ‘Hawthorn’ class, done digitally in pencil, pastel and wash.
My latest digital artwork…
GWR “Armstrong Class” 4-4-0 No.16 “Brunel” at Westborne Park in the middle 1890s, and just finished today with extra time on my hands due to the lockdown.
