Punting

Up at 6am to finish the painting of punting on the Cherwell. Yesterday I had the water too turquoise and too choppy so now it's muddier and flat. A duller painting perhaps but at least true to life whatever that means. Anyway I hope the punters of Oxford enjoy it when it goes on show for Artweeks on Saturday. I'm at Venue 84, 7 Oakthorpe Road. If it's not raining I'll be out on the streets of Summertown in the morning with a large drawing board sketching the people enjoying the festival. See website for more details: www.artweeks.org
