As a palate cleanser you can’t beat spending an hour or so making a digital painting on the iPad. I use a really ancient version, by iPad standards, of the painting app called Brushes ( actually I’m not sure whether this is still supported) which is just fine for what I want.

As I was working away on the painting I started to wonder what the gags of western art would have made of such advances ( if that is the right word) and what art would say Raphael have made an iPad?

This was so much more fun than worrying about the European referendum or the Donald.
