Sketch by the pool

Comments

Excellent detail on the face, subtle but very effective and love the reflection in the glasses.

I can feel the heat! Love the light too.

Wow, super sketch Marjorie. I do like the highlights on his face.

Ah, thank you for those lovely comments. Yes, Silent Warrior and I are having a lovely time but I’m not unaware of what’s going on at home - and not just the weather.

As you say you don’t know what is going on at home, Just to let you know that Boris has apologised and said he will do better, but has still not resigned! Still waiting for the full report, but the shortened report says there was failure of leadership. I think number 10 needs to call the AA. But you are obviously having a lovely time in the sun. Lovely sketch!

Sun-drenched sketch. Just great.

Hi Marjorie, no I haven’t posted my “nothing like a Morandi” Morandi, yet. I’ll put it on later. We start Peploe today. Woohoo! I think my still life is going to be too much for me, I may have over done it.

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Tue 01 Feb 10:57:22

Thanks for looking and commenting Russell and Lewis🙂

Posted by Marjorie Firth on Tue 01 Feb 13:16:57

I’ve posted the Morandi, promise not to laugh!
