Better than it looks... cracking on, rather piecemeal. My brother Mark having heart surgery and my heart is v disturbed, having trouble with it all. But found some varnish - while trying to find latex drawing fluid- so have been able to arrange Marcus' paintings. Amazed at how well they look after being varnished.

 Other excitements; fixative arrived, so double masked to deal with that. Works a treat. The charcoal firmly embedded. Paper more flexible. What magic makes this chemistry possible?
