Mat asked if I was still doing any portraits here in the gallery.

It’s something I offered before my solo show started – before I realised how all-consuming it would be.

But today was a good day for portraits because the main house was closed for a private event and the gallery was quieter than yesterday.

Sure, I said, would love to.

I didn’t draw for long, but enjoyed sitting down and making some marks on paper for a change.

Mat was taken with my iPad picture of evening on Briardale Gardens, and bought number 1/7 in a limited edition of A2 prints of that image.

Picture 4 shows Mat applying the red dot 🔴.

Each print is numbered and signed and issued with a certificate of authenticity.

“Evening, Briardale Gardens.”

Thank you Mat.
