This is the initial pencil drawing of Gort an Choirce>>

Once I’ve transferred it to a piece of black scraperboard>> I begin scraping out the white areas

More white is gradually revealed……..

Adjustments made, the piece is now finished.

A slightly larger scraperboard than normal of Gort a’Choirce>> seen from the height of the lane above the village.

I really enjoyed working on the details in this image as every corner of this view has good memories for me.
