Enough?

A photograph of an open, homemade pocket sketchbook resting on a tea tray on a bed covered with a red, grey and cream checked duvet. The sketchbook contains a bold black ink drawing of a white milk jug with a spoon and an orange Stanley mug, viewed from above, surrounded by a pattern of hens copied from the mustard-yellow tray cloth beneath it. The handwritten words “5:20am” and “Enough?” appear above the drawing, with the date 28/10/26 in a small box. Behind the sketchbook are the objects that inspired the drawing, including the white milk jug with its spoon and the orange Stanley mug filled with tea. A bright green teapot, two black pens and a small yellow drawing tool are also arranged on the hen-patterned cloth. The tray rests across the artist's lap, with the checked duvet visible around it.
A close-up photograph of an open, homemade pocket sketchbook resting on a mustard-yellow tray cloth decorated with black and white hens. A bold black ink drawing stretches across both pages, showing a white milk jug with a spoon sticking out of it on the left and a large orange Stanley mug, seen from above, on the right. The pattern of hens on the tray cloth has been drawn around and between the objects, filling the background of the drawing. Handwritten text at the top reads “5:20am” and “Enough?”, with the date 28/10/26 written in a small box. Two black pens lie above the sketchbook, and part of the real orange Stanley mug is visible at the top of the photograph, illuminated by warm light.
