Top Drawer; I was delighted this summer when the Daily Telegraph used that as a description of me in a caption to one of my drawings! Yay!

I've had a big clear out in my studio, clearing the layer of papers etc., the debris left by the launch of High Peak Drifter, from every desk and worktop, so much so that to find a suitable still life, I've had to open a drawer (yes, some day I organise my drawer too!).

I had another choice of still life on this dull afternoon; after months with no casualties, two goldfinches flew into the patio windows. They were in fresh bright plumage but I was too upset to bring them in and draw them.
