That's Aphrodite At The Waterhole, Mate!

Thanks to everyone who has so far attended "Everyday Art - Portraits By Francis Macdonald" - my first solo exhibition in the Abbot House Workshop in Dunfermline. Lots of great conversations with pals old and new. And quite a few pictures now sold. 

This was the first one to go - bought by Brian Jobson (brother of Richard) who popped in the day before opening whilst me and the amazing Ian Moir of Fire Station Creative were hanging everything:

Strange feeling to see that first wee red sticker go on the wall.

As I type there are a few days left. And a few pictures left unsold.  Open every day, 10-4pm, until Sunday. I will be there for the last two days; Sat 9th & Sun 10th Sept (2023!)

Thanks Paul English for this article...

And thanks to the brilliant Janice Forsyth for having me on her show on BBC Radio Scotland. You can listen here from around 1 hour 11 mins and 28 secs.

*Breaking News* guess who just received a postcard from David blinkin' Sedaris saying he really liked the drawing I sent him?!

Yikes.

OK.

TV stuff I would recommend:

Couples Therapy - every episode goes by in a flash.

Murder Trial - The Disappearance of Renee and Andrew MacRae - grimly fascinating.

No Activity - if you liked Colin From Accounts...

Dave Harewood on Blackface - brilliant (shocking) documentary.

The Price Of Truth - powerful. If ever a man deserved a bottle of 12 year-old Macallan....

And I am enjoying dipping in to I, Claudius. Those opening titles take me right back.

Not that anyone asked but I blinkin' *love* the drum entry here at 8 seconds...

Here are a some drawings...
