Thank you so much for your kind words and your
encouragement. I went for about 18 months hardly
putting pencil to paper at all for fear of how crap the
results would be! I'm getting back into it now though. I've
been doing some spiritual and counselling type work
around my confidence and creativity and it seems to have

really want to try so hard to make a success of it.

showing the windows lit up inside. I had a photo of the
brick part of the building to work from but not the white
part so; as you've probably noticed the white part isn't
entirely accurate. I might try and crop the white part out
with a frame - if and when I can afford one.....
