2023 in Pisticci….back to work, Hurray!!

There is no doubt that almost always, painting makes me feel good. ( especially  when I am choosing what to paint.)

After going out for a small walk to check on some things I finally got going.

Rain on the way.
Water pipes all fixed .
Dirupo still being stabilised
And my street looks good even on grey days.

I thought that I’d like to paint something on the mirror in a gold frame that I’d prepared earlier.

As it was for myself I decided  to make a special painting of my favourite place from my holiday.

I used the little sketch as well as a photo for reference.  I’m enjoying painting on a red background.

It seemed like a good idea to paint myself in the little wooden shelter first and if that went well the rest of the painting would go better.

I’m very happy with the result. It took about 4 hours to finish.

I even used some of my new paint. I’ve bought some liquitex basic acrylic which is supposed to be good. I used some in the sky…..and another one under my arm.

Then later this afternoon the postman arrived with 12 square canvas, boards, 2 tubes of alzarin crimson made by different companies which are different colours, and ink for my printer.

Feeling very sorted.

Even my tile name plate seems to be okay after yet another coat of varnish.

So wine time now.

Cheers 🍷🍷
