I was expecting visitors so in the last 2 weeks I’ve cleaned the armchairs, touched up and varnished the shower room floor, bought bleach and managed to get the kitchen sink nearly white, washed the floors and painted various pieces of furniture…..oh and dusted. ( I do enough housework to make an unobservant person think that my house is tidy normally.) 

I forgot about the windows in the doors…..maybe next year. 

It’s quite a nice feeling though. 

Apart from having visitors from Oliveto Lucano who collected my latest 2 paintings I haven’t done very much today. 

The gesso, I  was expecting arrived today, along with acrylic inks so I thought that I’d do a little experiment  in several sketchbooks.

I have lots of things to experiment  with when I get back from Scotland. 

It’s pizza night again and I’m hoping to buy a bus ticket to Matera at the cafe by the bus station on the way.

And I’ve a portrait  to deliver.

But for now I’m going to have a small glass of wine and relax before I need to decide what to wear. It looks like it might rain.

Cheers 🍷🍷

Will it rain or not………..
