Oliver Cromwell Not Dying Twice

An awful day of weakness and agonising stomach pain yesterday. My worst such day in months or years, I could do little, but I managed some drawing of a new painting in the evening.

Today, a full day painting the underpainting to 'Oliver Cromwell Not Dying Twice', a painting that could easily become a masterpiece due to its strangeness and imagination.

I associate with Charles I, therefore dislike Oliver Cromwell. Here, Oliver Cromwell is part vegetable, in a very English way.

I finished work at 7pm. Onwards!
