I spent the greater part of Saturday, January 18th telling myself that it was just fine if I didn’t paint anything, whilst simultaneously feeling guilty about it. This is not an infrequent pattern but is still frustrating. I decided to break the impasse late evening by sketching Mark who was engrossed in his iPad. I was determined not to fuss these efforts or get too frustrated if they didn’t turn out. I did six sheets in total and include three here. Well, that tells you something!

You’ve caught the intensity of his gaze superbly in each one.
Thank you!
