That looks disgusting Ron, not a comment on your artistic talents though. Too many great sketches to keep up with I agree Tessa, and I’m completely behind on the gallery.

Looks like your in a punishment cell or something, surely it could be made to look better, with simple presentation.

Oh Ron, how much longer are you having to isolate?  Breakfast should be the meal you look forward to. My sketch today really WIP on the bearded dragon,as I am trying out the acrylic ink brush pens. I think there may be a few more attempts before I get the feel of these.

Thanks for your comments and thoughts. Only another 7 days to go. Not my idea of breakfast either and thankfully arrived before they started expecting us to pay for it. Starting to crave fish and some kind of potato, so if tomorrow's is fish-related it's only a dream.

Poor Ron, we do feel for you but at least your breakfast made ME smile! Hope you ate it all up like a good boy? This is a quick sketch this morning on my walk, practising foreshortening of a horse which obviously moved as soon as I started drawing it.

Rather you than me with that breakfast Ron! First for me today, an attempt at a self portrait sketch! Not quite me but hey it’s a start!

Love the horse Tessa. Mine is a sunflower growing in a pot by my door. Just finished before the rain came.

Hilary, your dragon is very colourful and the colour is quite striking in the sunflowers, Katy. Tessa, there’s nothing worse than a subject who won’t stay still. And, yes I did eat it although not a big fan of beans for breakfast. Gillian, there is a resemblance and I think selfie’s are hard because we only see ourselves in reverse/flipped. Anyway, onward and upward, got to find ourselves a house (with a studio of course).

A great range of subjects here, from dodgy breakfasts to bearded dragons.  Love it.  Just lately I've gone right off making pictures, haven't done anything for a week or two...unusual for me.  But I thought I'd do a quickish sketch to try to shake off the laziness.  This is in my A5 sketchbook.  Pencil.

Love your characters Lew especially the poses of the pair on the left! We had a rush journey to visit my brother in hospital yesterday which made me think of this. There were a mix of masks/no masks there amongst staff and visitors which continues to baffle and worry me. There were a huge number of staff coming and going (not on the wards) without masks. 🤨 glad to get home. I have to say the customer control at the Services we stopped at on the way was much more impressive than at the hospital. Incidentally these masks are sooo hot and uncomfortable but I guess we have to get used to them.

Great characters Lew. You know how to capture everyday poses. I know what you mean Tessa, there's mixed messages everywhere. Guess that's why we are still struggling to get on top of it. I'd almost forgot today's sketch, I have been overwhelmed by peoples' kindness in bringing us small packages and even lunch (sushi - got my fish). Even had some friends doing a proxy viewing of a house we are interested in buying. Anyway, looking out the window towards the theatre again, but gazing up it looks like the lions are watching over everything. Didn't quite have enough room for the whole lion, unfortunately. Di

Gillian,I think that is a good self portrait, when I get my hair cut on the 25th (hooray!) I might try one. Great characters Lew, you make it look so easy! Tessa, that’s so worrying, I thought hospital was mandatory! Went to Tesco’s yesterday, all the one way arrows were gone, no one to control customers going in and people pushing passed as if it was all over!?
