Back to Work: Garrick’s Temple & bushy Park revisted
Back in the dark cold depths of January, I did a drawing I absolutely hated. Now it’s not unusual for me to do a drawing all excited and end up hating it or disappointed that it’s not how I wanted, or pieces where I was unsure/unhappy and got into the groove while doing it. This…

Art During a Heatwave / Night Work
So last Monday/Tuesday where I live had a heatwave – which is unusual for the UK. Bushy Park registered 39.2C beating the previous record, and nearby Heathrow registered 40.2C and Kew Gardens 40.1C, a record only beaten by 0.1 by a place in Lincolnshire.
