Someone get that photographer some lighting. 🙄

The judges had a crazy couple of rounds and sent home some really good artists. Last night was predictable. But given time, I think any of the final three have a good chance of a decent portrait.

Sue Barker - which covers the dog too.

I've fixed the printing error - top of the bill! #headliner 😎✊

Great progress! ✊

Mmmmmmm....cherryade, bubbles up your nose, jumpers as goalposts, T-Rex, Bowie, flares, homework and crisps on the bus. 😍

Have a great night, love to everyone.

Legs out in November? Baseball caps, tennis shoes, a tiny pixie? It's end of term madness. The SWAT team deal with the legs. Favourite Corona? Has to be cherryade, money back on the bottle. But we digress, the sticks wait, that roof is coming off. Go Mexico, thanks for 2025, roll on 2026. 😎✊

The sleeping giants will be back sooner than I thought! Enjoy Mexico. 😎✊

Ah, the seasons gently turn. Nature prepares for Winter, hi-hats hibernate, keys bunker down, only the wild Sax can tough out the first chills of change. Soon there will be snow, it's time to rest. A natural order is restored, but be assured, these sleeping giants will rise again before Spring.

Hunched figures step from the dark onto the page, the house is blue yet tense with a feeling of verticality where brevity fights delicacy in moments of colour. The artist returns playfully with loose treatment of negative space and catches out the critic who needs to apologise for a tardy response.
