I made this drawing in one sitting, drawing in a local park where I live in Bristol. I spent about 20 minutes drawing from life and then worked back into it using imagionation and thinking of the Emily Dickinson poem I love, 'Hope is The Thing with Feathers.' My dyslexic brain misremembered her exact words, but never mind?!
