    Organising

    A lot of things were accomplished today that did not involve drawing or painting. A patio area was extended, which sounds a lot more glamorous than simply making a wheelie bin corner a bit more accessible, but it got done.

    Ill-tricket

    I find the paintings that I like most, whether they are mine, or someone else’s, are not Nice paintings. I like finding the darker vibe, the shadows, and the ill-tricket energy.
