2024 in Pisticci……painted strawberries and fixed my trousers…

It’s been another lovely day. Though very quiet. It’s a holiday when people go to visit their relatives in the cemetery taking yellow flowers.

I enjoyed being outside. I took the net curtain down which hung over the warped stuck door, cut down last year’s Christmas lights at the other door and then sat for a while and painted strawberries.

Might  be helping that this is really thick watercolour paper. Today I used my water brushes after googling how to open them.

I wanted to be outside so I went for a walk up the pink brick road to look for flowers to paint. There was nowhere to sit so I just took photos.

Pretty pink flower
Don’t know what this is….

I picked one wild flower and painted it.

Was not particularly inspired

After lunch I decided that I should fix my new trousers,  so added a sort of cuff at the bottom. It was quite pleasant sitting sewing.

New ” fixed” trousers. ( they were a little too short and too tight at the bottom so I cut off the elasticated bit and added a sort of denim cuff.)

And finally I drew a few things in my sketchbook book in a diary style.

What a messy table!

It was pretty earlier.

Now it’s dark……

Glad it’s the weekend.

Cheers🍷🍷
