The past few days seem to have been a blur of activity. I’ve been to photographic exhibitions, lectures on Iron Age settlements, revisited and rewrote some of my research, art classes, walked in the country, took photographs and so on.

The one thing I haven’t done in a week or so is sit down and make a digital painting. Today I’ve got round to that with this portrait of Amy Winehouse. Ok this is just the start but it was actually great to just sit there and work at the problem of making something interesting and different from a photo I found of the great singer.
