“Are you drawing Thoresby Hall?”
The voice comes from behind me. I am facing Thoresby Hall and obviously drawing it.
“No”.
She doesn’t get it. Or maybe it’s a sh*t likeness.
Now the lockdown has loosened its grip slightly on some of my favoured regions for sketching and strolling, my sketchbook opted for Thoresby Park as first choice. There are few visitors today.
Since UK TV has started to include several art programmes in its lockdown schedule, I am finding more and more people wanting to approach me with questions about what I’m doing, no doubt trying to imitate the judges and commentators they’ve seen on TV. Normally this would drive me nuts, but in the present circumstances the company is rather nice, albeit socially distant and possibly unsighted.
