I have dedicated the last month and more, to surveying Aberdeen and locating subjects, where I have painted black and white pictures. Thus, with minimal kit on my bicycle, I can get an idea of what to work on over the summer.

 I will do this preparatory work until the end of May. 

Some of these black and white pictures are satisfactory as ends in themselves, I believe.
