A view of the Market Hotel in Reigate [Surrey England]. From the top of the tunnel over the road below which is now a pedestrian area.There cave entrances in the tunnel below.The caves were originally mines used to get building stone, they run under the old Castle, [the grounds of which I was sitting in to do this].The caves have been used as ammunition stores during the war and wine bars etc since then, they are now closed to the public.I remember my dad driving us through this tunnel on the way to Brighton when I was a kid.

A nice scene which must have taken some time. This encapsulates my two favourite subjects for drawing namely trees and buildings. Well done

Thanks Bob.
Didn’t take too long about 45 minutes hence the discrepancies in the scale of the figures and one or two instances of artistic license! I did it sitting in the shade with a take away coffee from Costa, just down the road, so it was a pleasant way to avoid being dragged round yet more clothes shops by my wife!!
I was also pleased to actually have done a drawing start to finish on site.
