Andy with a brush

Andy Murray was exploring his artistic side yesterday as he posted pictures of himself painting at an easel. A far cry from his usual crisp tennis attire, the former world number one was sporting a bohemian scarf as he got to work on a piece. An abstract, it had a dark background splattered with bright red and yellow flecks and three yellow circles – representing tennis balls perhaps. Art appears to runs in the family, with wife Kim well-known for her detailed animal portraits.
