This sketch of breakfast at the Bean and Grain cafe, at the Fyshwick fruit and vegetable markets, was done in several stages. I started it several weeks ago but didn’t get a chance to finish it until last week. I decided to add my breakfast plate (after the yummy serve of bakery-made crumpets was gone) for a bit of extra interest.

I’ve done very little drawing this week. I’ve had to focus on finalising exhibition proposals. Trading drawing for writing and trying to bash some plain English, as opposed to art speak, into my words. I’ll let you know how I go.
Relief came on Friday as we took an hour at lunch to drop by the Fyshwick Markets where there was an ‘apple and pear week’ promotion, which included a tasting of some interesting ciders. Oooh arghh, oooh arghh, I hear you say! To add to the atmosphere two guitarists were playing some very easy sounding jazz – not that we needed encouragement to sample the ciders on offer.

I clearly didn’t realise the effect the cider was having on me until I scanned the image below and noticed that I’d managed to get both the wrong day and month on the drawing!
Jazz guitar and some listings of what was on offer on the day. (For the record I recommend Willie Smiths Organic Cider and the Hillbilly Crushed Pear).
