2024 in Pisticci. A short walk and some experimenting….

It was definitely time to get out of the house this morning. There are still no blue skies, just a strange overcastness.

I thought that I’d go up the pink brick road with my camera and take photos of flowers.

These are pretty
I’ve painted these before
I like wild flowers and old bricks
Had to sit down to get this view. Strange sky…..
Made a small detour.

I discovered the book I was reading yesterday  improved, and as it was Sunday I finished it.

Sometimes I feel a bit uncomfortable if I don’t paint anything.

So , I thought flowers would not be a big effort. Then I found the photo of the yellow flowers against the overcast sky and decided that I actually preferred to do something more difficult.

My water soluble oil pastels. Medicinal glass of wine and blues on youtube.
Maybe I should have stopped here. This is only the pastels which I blended with some water. I like the effect.
But I didn’t stop . I used a palette knife mostly with the water soluble oil paint.
I think I spent about an hour painting this.

I was going to update my work diary, but I can’t find the glue! It’ll likely be in the same place as the 2 boxes of charcoal which I spent ages searching for and then weeks later I found in a drawer, exactly where they should have been. 

Wine, olives and vlogs now.

Cheers🍷🍷
