Was so excited when I finished my plate of fruit painting that I danced round my room. I didn’t know if it would work putting all the patterns and colours together , but it did and I love it. I even mostly enjoyed painting it. I think that it shows. I had not meant to make it so big, but the thrill of making my own stretched canvas as big as possible was irresistible.

It is such a treat to paint something just because I want to.

My other piece of art today was a little more complicated as it was a bit chilly when I went out with my kindle so I looked for a warm place to sit . I found a bench where I could look down on Dirupo and decided I would try and draw my house which I could see in the distance.

Unfortunately it got much hotter and then the sun shone on my screen so I couldn’t see so well and the scene was a little complicated. I decided it would be better to go home and finish it there. So I did. The colours were different in the photo, but it turned out ok. I am learning something new every day doing these drawings.

I didn’t push myself today because I have been awake since about 4am.

I like Fridays. Now that I am making the weekends different it makes friday mean something.

So now It’s wine time. Planning a restful weekend so I can catch up with the change in the weather. Cheers! 🍷🍷
