Today my plan was to chose one of the photos which I had carefully placed in a folder called ” black canvas,” and then paint it on the first of my new black canvases.

However when I woke up it was lovely, sunny and warm outside, not raining as was forecast.

So I sat outside, wrote my Sunday email, ate breakfast, had a coffee and then got my kindle from upstairs and finished the book I was reading.

By then it was 10am so I sat down and looked at all the photos in the black canvas folder. I liked several of them.

Then I got a message saying that someone wanted to come round to talk about getting a painting done.

So it was necessary to tidy up a bit.

Soon it was lunch time and I had 2 new commissions.

About then I got a phone call about tomorrow’s work and so arranged to go and discuss it in situ at 3.30pm.

There was just time to watch an episode of Midsomer Murders before I went out.

And now I have yet another commission to prepare for.

So I have decided to postpone painting on black canvases for the foreseeable future.

I was given a small glass of a very strong fruity liqueur after getting tomorrow’s work sorted out. It was very nice, but needs to be drunk sparingly.

It’s lovely outside right now.

It looks like I should be busy for the next few weeks.

But for now it’s wine time……

Cheers🍷
