Andrew Marr

Although he's always painted, he's never had an exhibition. He used to do landscapes, insisting he would always take his gear out with him and paint what was in front of him. Since his well publicised stroke, that changed and he's mainly studio based and exploring abstracts. They're not brilliant, but some of them are decent enough and he wasn't taking a cut - all the profits from the sold paintings were to go to the rehabilitation charity, ARNI. So, I approve.

I didn't get the planned shoot with Haja for one reason or another, so was really glad I'd had the chance for a few shots on Monday. There's no chance of a re-arrange any time soon.
