    Wow Leith I had no idea that your paintings were so huge. Your mug’s not that ugly, I am sure you have plenty of people willing to share a drink from it!

    ps – is that a Smiths t-shirt you have on or is it my imagination? If you are having a maudlin monday or suffering a thorn in your side then I will know.

    A rare and intersting glimpse into the mind of the artist mid work near com,pletion… the satisfied calmness and confidence, the realisation that your vision has been transferred to canvas and youre happy with it!
