Tony says "I have chosen to do a few drawings of myself in lockdown. My first submission is a pencil drawing of me taking my daily exercise, walking the streets of Lexden and Stanway, the second is of me receiving my first Covid vaccination, the third is of me having a video call with a friend and lastly me celebrating my 70th birthday. Now on to pastures new".
