Well the lock down is over half way through its first stage and it seems to be having an effect on the R factor, if only slightly, but it is in the right direction. However and much better news is the appearance of an inoculation, in fact several of them are on the horizons. Although not proven as of yet, the early tests are very encouraging. Inoculations could be starting for the extremely vulnerable before Christmas; now that is  indeed good news. So lets celebrate with a little wise caution and with a favorite picture of mine. Guess where? I am sorry but there is no prize for correct answers.

I love the center of London with all the busyness which goes with it. Hopefully before too long we will all be able to go back there, with me sitting somewhere or other doing a sketch. As it is getting into the cooler months of the year, maybe I can wait a short while.

Liz and myself are still walking and the experience of autumn this year has been such an eye opener as it has lasted so long and has been so colorful, indeed it isn't over yet. and the colours are still vibrant It is a little cool for sketching at the moment, but the camera has been busy and some memorable shots are being taken. A while ago I composed a work of many images, (ink and photography) of water; these were coupled up with verses from the Psalms of David and the work was called "Deep to Deep". The idea now floating in my mind is to do a similar work, but this time looking at trees; so that is what I am thinking about at the moment; lets see what happens.

The normal ink work is continuing and some good stuff is appearing; so that is ongoing. Also I am beginning to gather together all my writings and thoughts during this pandemic, lets see how that turns out. So I am busy and enjoying being busy. Maybe writing at the moment is a good healthy change for me, but the painting must continue Well lets wait and see, whatever see you all soon.
