I was really supposed to be painting the castle, church and lots of little white houses today, but I got side tracked and drew local scenes very roughly on ten more canvases.

I have room to display them now that I’ve tidied out my gallery. So every reason to carry on.

That took a while and after that I spent some time on the commission with the church, castle and lots of little white houses. It looks like it’s going to be a lot of work.

I hadn’t much energy left for the local scene.

Yesterday I moved a clay figure playing a guitar, through into my living room. It isn’t very good but, it’s better than I thought it was.

I read more stuff about Ukraine which made me feel sad again. What is going to happen? It’s all very unsettling.

Then there is covid in the UK. In Scotland (if I read it correctly) then there are more people in hospital than ever before.

Maybe I knew today that I needed to draw all these new scenes so that I have something constructive to do while waiting to see what happens next. I may as well paint Pisticci ……

Now thank goodness for wine. (and Miss Marple)
