Too Many Keys
I have too many keys. A bit like a prison warder or a school caretaker.

St Pauls Dome
A late finish at work. As I passed the illuminated dome of Saint Pauls cathedral in the night sky, it caught my eye and I just had to draw it.
Four Plants
I moved a lot of things around at home today including these plants which now have a new home together.
Another Late Train
The trains this week have been truly rubbish! Trees on the line on Monday is totally understandable but multiple incidents of broken down trains due to previous trains being delayed and trains not available..crap excuse. Luckily I was well stocked with a book, audio book and sketchbook.
Chess
I have taken more of my son’s black chess pieces than he has taken from me. So far I’m winning but perhaps not for long…
Hirst’s Candy
Paintings from Damien Hirst’s ‘Candy Series’. Candy Spill work by Felix Gonzalez-Torres (1959-1996). Exhibition is called ‘Candy’. Some of these sculptures are in the form of sweets in cellophane piled up in corners to represent letting go and a refusal to take a static form/monolithic sculpture, in favour of disappearing, changing, unstable form. Blain Southern (London, Hanover Square) is the name of the gallery. This is sculpture? You’re allowed to eat the candy.
Hirst’s [b: 1965] ‘Visual Candy’ paintings were made as a direct riposte to an art critic who dismissed Hirst’s work as ‘just visual candy’.
Both the sculptures and paintings were originally produced in the early 90’s.

Calathea And Ficus
Two new additions to my houseplant collection. Need to repot soon. Hopefully these guys do not contain any refugee insects!
Cufflinks
A selection of my cufflinks. I wear them daily to work and have become rather attached to them over the years.
