I still felt like drawing

A view of Michael’s early-morning drawing setup on a colourful crocheted blanket. A small open sketchbook shows a black-ink self-portrait with red and dark blue blocks of colour and the handwritten words, “I’ve had a bath but still feel like drawing,” dated 4-10-26. Behind it is a tea tray covered with blue chicken-patterned fabric, holding a round mirror, a cream mug decorated with a hen, a white jug and drawing tools. Michael, wearing dark glasses and holding a yellow phone, is reflected in the mirror.
A close-up of Michael’s small open sketchbook resting on a colourful crocheted blanket. Across the pages is a loose black-ink self-portrait of Michael wearing glasses, with a large red area behind his head and a dark blue area beside his shoulder. At the bottom he has written, “I’ve had a bath but still feel like drawing,” with the date 4-10-26. A small handwritten note at the top records the early-morning time — 6:34 am.

Unusually, I still had some energy after my bath this morning…
