Hot days at the shop
On Monday I bought a parasol to use outside between the art for fun tables and have benefitted from shade the last two days. By early afternoon the air has felt ‘heavy’ and being able to get some shade has helped. The heat is draining my energy but I have had some art for fun …
New panorama developing
At the start of 2022 I set myself two targets to work on; to try some Lino/relief printing; to draw some panoramas. I have produced some Linoprint pieces but need to return to printing best copies of my drystonewall series; developing use of the beach marker piece and continue to sell the kayaker cards.

Good morning
A strange occurrence – a good nights sleep – ok some wake ups but two distinct phases of longer sleep makes Andy a happy man. So, yesterday I had gone for an early walk. Today as I have a day to spend with Anne a slower start. That washing up I hadn’t done last night, …
