Well this is it............. the FINAL MARK'S DRAWING CHALLENGE 2013 POST........ Day 1 began with a pencil sketch of a bowl of eggs, if some of you remember that far back! It seemed fitting to 'go back to the egg' so to speak so here we are, just completed chalk pastel 'BOWL OF EGGS' for Day 365. A1 ivory canford paper.

I hope you have enjoyed the drawings/sketches and I just wanted to say A MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone for their likes, encouragement and positivity. (368 page likes over the year!) I have really enjoyed braving the bracing ice/sn

ow/rain/hail and very hot sun at times this year. For me setting up the easel in the glorious Shropshire countryside or in the middle of London on the banks of the river Thames has been truly fantastic.People passing by and taking the time to chat.

So for 2014....... it starts........There is a 'selected works' exhibition planned in Shrewsbury for the end of February as well as 'Drawing Challenge' related stuff. I have had a lot of interest in the work and will be selling some of it. It would be great to know from you what was your favorite piece?

I plan to now keep up the drawing as I've always done but this year concentrate much more on my painting, going out 'Painting' with my trusty easel.

You can take a look at more of my work at www.brushmark.co.uk which I will endeavor to keep updated

Thanks again. Mark.
