Her Self-Portrait by F. E. Clark

Here’s a tiny, dark tale that I wrote about an artist!

Here’s a wee show of the paintings I made in the last 6 weeks. I must admit I’ve found it hard to get back into making - in part due to the pandemic, but also for other more personal reasons. These paintings are all acrylic on paper, various sizes. It’s such a joy to make things. Love to all, F. E. Clark, 28th June, 2020.
