Henry Moore’s sculpture grew from the shape of a pebble. I stood behind the bronze to make this sketch, aiming to use just white and light and dark sanguine to define it. Once home, I couldn’t resist working over the lines again. I perhaps should have left well alone.
Brexit day has been and gone since I last posted from the Peoples’ Vote march but we seem to be in the same place as that weekend. I notice that the Labour Party is desperately looking for candidates to fight the European Parliamentary elections. If you are short of something to do for a few months, it seems a good idea, a political taster. It might be a way of having fun and meeting new people! You have to have been a member for a year to stand for Labour, but if you are, you already know they are looking for candidates- check your email feed. If not, there’s always the independent group who are less fussy who they take.
