Helmsley is a small town to the north of York with some very interesting buildings and a castle in cross-section. There's also a small, picturesque stream running through it...

I was really pleased with these two - perhaps I should just stick to one or two colours...

This is a longer one done at the remains of Jervaulx Abbey. They were great to explore. I could easily spend a month drawing there...
