Finding it difficult to concentrate with all going on. Just wish that aspects were sorted so that some kind of routine could be adhered to.
Some results but not all.
Detail of “Norwegian Nude” - work in progress.
…giving up the ghost on the little ‘go cart’ piece. It just went stale but that’s OK. It wasn’t the right time.

Really great online talk from the Garter Lane Arts Centre: Chloe Austin in conversation with Matt Higgs, Kitsch Doom, and Ciara O Neill.
Did a few quick sketch of the speakers as they discussed their practices.

After having a long, hard look at “Troublesome” - came to the realisation that figure is complete. Nice to leave it loose in parts. It explains what it needs to without having to divulge anything else.
Bit of building work in the background and it’s finished.
Decorations are up and a little winter halo to round off a very odd month.
