Let this be the last for a while. Need to do other stuff this morn. Should be doing Italian lesson, but just don't feel inclined. #KimboltonSchool #KimboltonCastle #OldKimboltonians #OneSchoolOneFamily #Wisdom
On Foundation Course - a vain attempt to restart, to do what I did post-VI Form - we had to do a sketchbook of a place we loved. I did Kim; some images fairly tangential. #KimboltonSchool #KimboltonCastle #OldKimboltonians #OneSchoolOneFamily #Wisdom
Sketch for a mural I never made. There's not a commercial bone in my body, but am getting too close to the end, and I have 26,000 paintings and other artworks to sell. #KimboltonSchool #KimboltonCastle #OldKimboltonians #OneSchoolOneFamily #Wisdom
Modified readymade, as it were. #KimboltonSchool #KimboltonCastle #OldKimboltonians #OneSchoolOneFamily #Wisdom
I (almost) hated my time at uni; should have gone to asrt school, or at least East Anglia. So I see this as my alma mater. #KimboltonSchool #KimboltonCastle #OldKimboltonians #OneSchoolOneFamily #Wisdom
Let me try this. #KimboltonSchool #KimboltonCastle #OldKimboltonians #OneSchoolOneFamily #Wisdom
I need a secretary. I am too long in the tooth to manage things. Insta is SO rubbish when it comes to uploads from a PC. Diabolically bad. #KimboltonSchool #KimboltonCastle #OldKimboltonians #OneSchoolOneFamily #Wisdom
My alma mater. Uni did NOTHING for me, so this is my secondary school. Hated it until the VIth Form, then I loved it. Thought OKs might buy my artwork on the subject, but no. The world sucks over all. #theferrisfiles #kimboltonschool #kimboltoncastle #nostalgia #education #frustration
Moonrise. Mixed media on paper. £125, but you'll have to collect. No-one will. Kimbolton was where I went to school. It shaped me. University had no effect. #theferrisfiles #artforsale #kimbolton #kimboltoncastle #kimboltonschool #frustration
