The Market and the shop are open till late today. There is music & fairground in town but the Market it dark, cold and quiet. .. A corner of a new commissioned painting in progress is at the bottom right. It’s a Mediterranean house in oil pastel. I had a productive day in the studio, I’ve talked to interesting people, but haven’t seen much of my family and haven’t earned any money. Which, as usual, makes me wonder if I am doing the right thing?
