2023 in Pisticci…putting the plan into action….

After sitting outside having a coffee I got started on my extension. Which , I am painting. I hope it works!

I began by emptying 2 bookcases onto my bed. And soon I had the wall all ready to paint .

Have now got rid of the very dusty Christmas bush thing in the foreground.

First step was to cover the wall with a rough mixture of brick colours.

Brick colours done.

Then after that came the sponging part, using several different colours.

After that I took a break to let the paint dry before I started to draw the bricks.

I might need to go over the “cement” between the bricks as I may not have waited long enough for the paint to dry.

However most of the bricks are behind the bookcases. I added two white posts to finish them off .

Now the space in the middle is ready to become a room .

I’m quite looking forward to continuing, but tomorrow morning the electricity is to be off for a few hours and it’s quite dark upstairs, so I might have to wait until afternoon to carry on.

Today’s art lesson involved apples . Now I have a lot of apples to eat.

But it’s been a very satisfactory day.

And now it’s wine time.

Cheers🍷🍷
