As I've commented to a couple of others, there was very little colour in this scene with the hills/mountains being almost in silhouette, so it lent itself perfectly to a black & white medium such as pencil.<br /><br />Thank you for your lovely comment and about the Daffodil too. Much appreciated.<br />Warmest Regards<br />JohnJohn (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-5814409318144458182012-05-16T15:01:59.484+01:002012-05-16T15:01:59.484+01:00Thank you very much Sandra.
