We've been watching 1000s of #starlings gather, #murmurate &roost every evening in the nearby village of #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire all week. And my #art seems to have entered another #starling phase, as it frequently does in winter. This one - finished & sold yesterday - is called "All the colours of a starling".

If you like it, pls #FollowMe. I #followBack.🙏

“It is a three-day cold.” says one man with a beer gut in a gas station.

“So is HIV infection syndrome.” I reply as I exit.

Bring it. I am not fucking around.
