Cobwebs
The Tardis, my studio, is filling up gradually with books, rags, old paint pots, half finished canvases, big bottles with paintbrushes, knick-knacks, charcoal dust, cacti and bird seed. In the midst of trying to finish some acrylic paintings I get a commission of tiny proportions, which means some delicacy needed, which means the table gets dusted free of gubbins, and I take my watercolours out of the cupboard, two paintboxes, a brush roll, and some tubes arranged in a Japanese type woven tray with shallow baskets, obviously for food, but brilliant for keeping the colours separate, bought at a car boot in Kelso. As I sit down to sketch out a tiny rough, I notice the light through the cobwebs in the window. Ah, distractions, distractions….

Thanks, Emily. I can’t quite work out what the smudge of purple is underneath the cobweb, it’s some trick of the light, but I like it there….
