Parklife Part 2: Parakeet Sunsets
I was painting a picture of some wild mushrooms today, as you do during Mynktober/Inktober and a man came up and asked what I was doing. We got chatting and he asked my name and whether I had work of Richmond Park, his local park. Well I do have quite a few pieces, and I…

So I…
