I have finished my portrait of Captain James Fitzjames, not touched for a while due to illness and a challenge getting back the creative flow #TheTerror #pencil #drawing #art #graphite #TobiasMenzies
I visited Tarek Atoui's exhibition in The Turbine Hall which has just opened, lots of imagination for the senses and would visit again.
In London yesterday to see lots of amazingly talented artists' work at this exhibition. My favourite is a painting of Tobias Menzies in green shirt by @rebeccafpainter so magical to see in real life.

Across from Luskentyre on Harris, in the Outer Hebrides. Pink clouds over the hills, turquoise water and miles of white sand. It's one of my favourite places to photograph anywhere.
Would you believe this is the UK?

Happy Narnia Day! The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was published 76 years ago on October 16th, 1950, and would become a classic of fantasy and children’s literature, with the series selling 120 million copies worldwide and translations in 60 languages.
Do you remember when you first experienced Narnia? What are the scenes and characters that inspire you the most?
After watching "Antigone Exits" on stage, I am going to watch Emma D'Arcy and Tobias Menzies in "The Other Place" on National Theatre at Home.
I now have three plays to read side by side. "Antigone Exits" is currently playing in Chichester until 17th Oct. You can watch "The Other Place" on NT Live at Home.
I recently saw "Antigone Exits" which has a brilliant cast, powerful and deeply emotional performances. I like the contemporary references and Ancient Greece crashing into each other.

For the final world premiere of this year’s Festival in Chichester, ‘Antigone Exits’ is bold, radical and a biting commentary on our modern world told through the lens of the iconic Greek tragedy.

I really enjoyed the exhibition "Ray Harryhausen Myths in Motion" particularly Bubo the owl and Pegasus the flying horse from "Clash of The Titans." I hope to visit again.

Packed up a couple of orders today. I did my happy dance when I saw them come in. No drawing done tho, just admin. I have no idea how many hrs I work a week running my business - way, way too many for the profit I make. Got the apple bucket drawing in a frame. Such nice colours!
