Back home again

Made it back from London in one piece, and had a fine time down there too, perusing galleries and museums, sketching in cafes and taking a load of photos. Saw some of my favourite paintings in the National Gallery, awesome antiquities in the British museum and enjoyed mooching around the streets, leisurely watching stuff happen. Meanwhile, my daughter was tormenting her grandparents and uncle in the Borders, behaving disgracefully as she struggled to deal with what turns out to have been incipient chicken pox! 

The UK Youth exhibition was interesting with plenty of good work on show though I thought the presentation was too crowded. Still, it was very busy and lots of money was made for the charity, including through me as I made my first London sale. Impeccable taste, them cockneys... On Friday night I went to the PV of the OF Art show in Edinburgh which  looks excellent, thanks to the hard work of Nicola Moir, and was good fun too.

A couple of pages from my sketchbook above, the first shows a gentleman kipping on the train, the second a couple in a cafe. (Try and ignore the girl's crap head, she was silhouetted but it's  still rubbish...)
