Delightful drawings!
what beautiful drawings!
mmm, lovely! So expressive. How wonderful it is to be able to draw…
Great drawings. Sharing on Facebook for my dog loving friend.
He captures the dogs many moods very well, but shouldn’t he have named him “Bullseye”

I love these, John has real talent!
On Sunday mornings in Columbia Road I have stopped to talk to George and John Dolan several times. We always talk only of George. I said I had a photograph of George my brother had taken, pinned up in my hall, and that the photograph is much admired. John told me George was now quite famous, but with great modesty he never referred to the reason for that fame: John’s own drawings.
