Its all there. This realisation happened as soon as I started this drawing for the new painting. I don’t know why this should be such a revelation to me. I think Mexico has accelerated my progress and given me a few gifts in terms of compositions and opportunities that I hadn’t seen in the UK, though I am sure they are there. I hope it will be blindingly obvious to me when I return. There is hardly any information in this photo, it is mostly in silhouette but I think this is the key to my way forward. I have got to invent far more.
