Stunning work Marlon.

Happy New Year all

Just spotted these Marlon. Brilliant! Do you take commissions?

Thanks IRD (and to everyone who paid compliments

),
Sorry I don't take commissions - I draw only a about half a dozen per year and purely for pleasure, each take around 15 to 20 hours, they are a labour of love. I also paint seascapes in oils, again just for pleasure

That’s a shame Marlon. You have a real talent and could earn some extra cash for additional Z4 purchases.
