Getting back into painting required a limbering-up exercise: it's been over a year since I painted anything other than the occasional birthday card; took up a Labour Party job .... too much for a kid of my age to manage on top of sustaining a painting output: something had to give - and painting did.
Lockdown, therefore, has had its benefits. Retirement from bureaucratic entanglements would have more....
This is a painting in oil, 16" by 12" (we don't do metric..) which I did to refresh my painting skills - I say nothing at all for it as a painting in its own right: it's too fussy, and has other faults. But the figure within is myself - and what COULD be lovelier?
Kindly don't answer that.
