Oh, it’s been a while, but I am once more feeling the push to write, and draw. So bear with me while I tell you a little about the two images you are about to see, both claiming my attention on the same day.
I shall start with the first image, which shows an item I would never have thought of owning had I not recently needed hospital treatment, with my heart deciding it show me just how flippant it could be – a week after my successful nasal operation. A trip to A&E and a pronouncement of ‘nothing sinister’ was made. I am improving, but not back to my usual fast walking, just yet. Well, at least I’m walking!
I have accumulated many sketches over the years; some in notebooks, on scraps of paper, in art pads and folders. Some work is good, some bad and the rest indifferent. And that isn’t all of it, when moving, I made the bold choice to give work away, or throw it out. Recently I decided to go through a folder or two, to see if I found anything interesting. These drawings had stories attached to them; some had sold and I only had photos of the originals, but many were tucked away, waiting for me to show them the light of day. It was nice, dipping into my past and meeting old friends.
