I had over 90 visitors to my last Open Studio weekend.
One person was asking me about my painting '3001' and I explained how I came to choose the objects that would go in my Morris Minor - a time capsule to be rediscovered in a 1,000 years time.
The inspiration had come from a recently unearthed Roman shrine found under the car park at Shire Hall. One of the items was 600 oyster shells, which were an inexpensive favourite with the Romans.
'As cheap as chips' came the retort from my visitor. Nearly right I said, as I had chosen 6 Kettle crisps as a modern equivalent to go in the painting.
You might be able to spot them in the latest picture on my Instagram post.
