It seems to me that planning to do something scary- such as plein air painting is a very good motivator to do lots of avoiding stuff. I have been more or less a complete failure in respect to painting outdoors.

But I am getting on very well painting food and drink and have just started a series of people paintings.

And obviously I need to create lots of work for the market in August – oh and as my little house/artist’s retreat might be finished next week I might be having a little exhibition there too..

So of course I have no time to sit about and paint in the street have I???

So this is how I have been avoiding doing what I planned to do…………
