View of the Tyne with Baltic Flour Mill (charcoal on cartridge paper)
I don't have the dimensions of this drawing, because it belongs to friends of mine. I did it in 1995 (I think) as a preparatory drawing for the painting they'd commissioned:
View of the Tyne - Baltic (Oil on board) (Private Collection)
The colours in this photograph may not be overly accurate - I think it was taken with a camera phone - but it gives a reasonable idea of it. The view is notable for the absence of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge which wasn't installed until 2000 (of course!)

Hi Harry
I like this mood you have created here. The sweep of the river takes me to the horizon which seems to go on for ever. Just stunning.
Regards
Trevor -- thanks. The picture is over the mantelpiece in my friends' house and I get a kick out of seeing it there. I offered them a choice from several I did at the same time, and I reckon they got the best.
