You would have thought her daughter could have given her encouragement Derek. What's that camper van doing in the sky?

I think she does Adele, but she is very nervous - for an ex Met PC. I thik the van has something to do with Bowie

Shapes, depth and tones are skillfull as ever Derek. I wouldn't be able to not colour this in.

Great recording Derek. i like the composite way of grabbing that information. Imagine this approach to mark making on a large canvas. Thanks for your comment on my sketch of Lowr's shoes at the Tate.

On a caravan rally and one of the girls had expressed an interest in joining me sketching but was very self deprocating and refused to sketch in front of me but wanted to talk and watch. So we did and I did and we were in a campsite so I did bits and pieces whiklst describing stuff and how to. Then she showed me an A5 book with some smashing little pieces in, all copied for photos, but she got them good. This is what we talked about and I did. Various subjects overlaid. Think I've awakened her interest. Her daughter is an art teacher!!!!

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
