It was beautiful sitting outside this morning drinking coffee.

I was going to spend some time painting an orange tree early on, but went shopping instead . It wasn’t too hot before 9am.

I’ve spent quite a lot of time “in Venice ” today. I decided to stop giving myself a hard time and just be glad I can.

I did make some plans . So tomorrow could be a busy day.

And I tidied out the shower room.

I had a lovely conversation with my daughter this afternoon. Felt energised after that.

I had already painted a lot of leaves on my orange tree and made round shapes for the oranges.

After half an hour I decided I was finished/ too hot.

It’s looking respectable.

Today I thought that maybe my wall painting is fun because there is no way I’m painting every individual leaf or flower in great detail so it’s only my version of reality.

I feel very fortunate to be learning so much . Painting ( for me) is a never ending series of learning experiences.

Which makes it a bit scary at times.

However when painting my own house I only have to please myself.

Wine time now. I might go and start painting lemon leaves later…….or not.
