What a great rope. As soon as I saw your posting on EDM I knew what I was going to find here! You did a nice drawing of your rope though and not the same sketching you've been doing. Very nicely done.
My name is Angie Wood and I live on a narrowboat on the beautiful Oxford canal.
A long time ago in the eighties I studied Art and Design at Goldsmiths College and went on to be a paste up artist and then a graphic designer. I’ve never stopped painting and drawing though – I painted pet and animal portraits for a while and over the past two years have begun creating small oil paintings of vintage objects, textiles and flowers. I collect items from fleamarkets to paint and my little narrowboat is getting fuller all the time! I’m particularly delighted by colourful patterns on textiles and ceramics and I also love painting reflective surfaces. I’m usually attracted to items from the early part of the twentieth century, which bring back memories of my great aunts’ and grandmother’s cosy houses. My artistic aim is to pay homage to the things I paint by observing them as closely as I can, and to create something beautiful that will hopefully make people as happy as I was when I was making it!

Looks like your period of procrastination is ending. Well drawn. :)
Couldn't be done better in this technique---just wonderful!
Doesn't look lazy at all to me, looks like an awesome drawing of a rope! Thanks for visiting my blog.
This challenge was just custom made for you, I'd wager. You must have had many 'line drawing' possibilities on deck. Very well done!
Beautiful values! Well done! :)
nice
This is really very nice. I like the contrast of shapes with the texture of the rope against its shadow shape.
