2023 in Pisticci…satisfactory Saturday….

It was good to have a decent night’s sleep.

Still too hot to sleep upstairs.

Today I thought that I’d like to tidy up my painting equipment and maybe start a new complicated local scene.

And I did it! Hurray!

I started by going to the ” meetmarket” where I planned to buy some sort of storage.

A couple of camouflaged cats.
An old door.

Instead I bought a plastic box which I’ve turned into a great wet palette.

Wet kitchen roll with baking paper on top.
It shuts! I’ve been using 2 plastic trays, one as a lid for the last 10 years. It’s been okay, but I think this should be much better. ( cost 4 euros)
All set up .

I also bought some wire as I had a vague idea of making hanging shelves.

In fact I painted a couple of shoeboxes which are still empty and used the nice square cardboard boxes which my paint was delivered in to make sections .

This is the organised version.

Then it was time to begin the painting with all the door,balconies, flowerpots etc ……..

This!

However once I got going I worked on until about 6pm. My new palette seems to be just right.

Still some way to go.

And now it’s Saturday wine time.

Cheers🍷🍷
