Watercolour study of a roe deer antler. Very happy with the result.

I realised after looking back at that triple image I posted, that it might be better to post them separately, so you can see my "hairy" linework better (laughs). I also added a painting of the as was (long since destroyed), Charles I Demanding Entrance at the Beverley Gate, Hull, 23 April 1642, by George Arnald (1763–1841), the building I sketched is approximately where the guy with the red flag is stood.

I love the upper balcony too, I'd happily live there. It's also not as old as it looks, built almost on the site of the -
