I’ve had fun today, jumping into the car and heading off to meet some people I have never met before, turning up on their doorsteps unannounced and asking for a certain favour from them, which in all cases I got. The power of asking…….. and all of this because of a woman I couldn’t get […]
The day was billed as “figure drawing” which was somewhat ambiguous as far as I was concerned, usually it would stated as “Portrait” or as “Life drawing” – one being a clothed model, the other most definitely naked. But, either way, I was going to go to the art workshop and would enjoy it, and […]
I was asked a strange question this week by someone I’ve never spoken to before. We were talking on the phone about other more prosaic matters and I mentioned to him that I was an artist, which interested him as he told me he was really into art. He asked what sort of art I did and I explained […]
