Lockdown 2 drawing, day 1 Great British lockdown: Bread-making frenzy sweeps the UK.
In ‘normal circumstances’ I spend a lot of time outdoors, painting Cumbrian landscapes, townscapes and seascapes ‘plein air’. However, when the first lockdown commenced, I had to spend my time drawing and painting in the studio. I began to post a drawing a day on Facebook, most of which were a humorous response to the many activities suggested to help people through lockdown on social and other media platforms: Yoga, baking, enjoying the garden, tips for self-grooming etc. I found as my hair, beard, eyebrows, and toenails started to get unruly, some of these suggestions were helpful. This series of drawings is available to buy as one off prints. They are either 460mm x 460mm or 300mm x 420mm unframed size
