It's a pencil drawing!
By the artist Stuart Walton, born in Dewsbury in 1933.

Self Promotion Sunday - Surreality. I revisited this tune that was the title track from an album of mine 20 years prior. Ended up with a spooky minimalist version of it that creates a mood. Didn’t plan on playing a combined solo with organ, it just naturally happened. #jazzsky youtu.be/uWcLFyeX3Js
