'hob knob' The first was the color work, an attempt many years ago, of doing a trompe l'oeil work, and patterned this after one of Jim Davies'...... it was such a nicely rendered one that when back into the pen/ink, decided to try my hand using the pen.... both works were well received, especially in how well the seeking to getting the realism was achieved - even the pen/ink was considered a success..... of course, could not resist playing with the word, hobnob.......
