2023 in Pisticci….a bit of a struggle…..

I wasn’t kidding when I said that this mural was taking over my life, otherwise why would I be awake at 4am stressing over which colours to use in the background

Eventually I gave up trying to sleep and decided which colours I might use in the background. Maybe…..

Then I had a really good idea about 8am . I would print a photo of the mural yesterday and then paint on the colours etc which I might use.

What a very useful exercise that was ! I changed several things for the better as well as trying out the background colour.

However an A4 photo and a large wall are not the same

To say I struggled with the background would be putting it mildly. But a little part of me must have known that if I just kept going it would eventually work out.

It did. After a lot of struggling and painting over and wondering what on earth to do.

I also painted the pink tree which looks respectable.

And the hydrangeas which look perfect.

Tomorrow I should be crossing the bridge……..

It was a lovely evening for walking home down the corsa. I stopped in to buy carrots. I’ll miss these walks home ,and realistically there is no way I’ll be going out in the evening just for a walk.
