I did quite a bit during lockdown but I get bored with it. It just doesn't absorb me enough. I'm one of those people who does a lot of things "quite well" but I always get pulled back to words. Reading and writing are where I'm most satisfied.
Here's some winter jasmine for you 🙃

Frank Auerbach (whose death was announced this morning) drew his sitters over and over again, erasing the image after each session so that only an outline remained.
He once estimated that 95% of his paint ended up in the bin.
This is a self-portrait from 1958.

Yesterday I followed a lot of people I don't know. Now comes a period of discovery. If I like what they post they stay.
Already tired of people talking about Twitter.
I've also been reading, gardening, and watching the Women's 100 Cricket which I really enjoy.
A very good Saturday.
