Give me an old olive tree, a pen and paper and maybe a cool drink and I'm happy for a good hour.

I love these. In fact I'd love prints of these, please.
now i like these, these are very me
Thanks Mel and Amy. I've numbered them now so you can place your orders. Cash only.
Like Mel & Amy, these are fabulous. Taking advantage of my position as your father (and "greatest fan"), just tell them all the drawings are spoken for. I can feel the gnarled wood beneath my hands, the warmth of the sun, the deep, rich, ochrous brown in the shadows, the light, singing siennas in the sunshine. And all this in a black and white sketch. Your are good.
Thanks Dad. You're my biggest fan.
