2024 in Pisticci….3 cats and a lady with a big nose…..

After a good night’s sleep I felt much more like getting to work.

I managed to paint 3 more versions of Fluffy.

Respectable if not as good as I’d like. ( but that’s normal.)

Just for fun I thought I’d draw a face in my sketchbook using the water soluble oil pastels.

That was fun. Painting and drawing in sketchbooks is relatively new for me.

Apart from it being on the big side her nose is very 3 dimensional. I love drawing with these crayons.

Other than that today I ordered a  folding table, more gloss varnish and white calligraphy pens online.  I like the idea of having more workspace, which is also portable.

I’d like to keep working in my gallery room, but it gets very cold in the winter.

Usually I move into my living space and then am all crowded onto a small desk.

I have the idea that if I am able to spread out then I will be able to paint more expansively and better. 

This may be thinking along the same lines as, if I had only had a trug then I would have been a better gardener. ( delusional!)

It is nice however to have the whole table in the gallery to spread out on.

It’s pizza night again and tonight I’m thinking of having a crudaiolo ….only I’m not sure how to pronounce it, which is why I had a prosciutto  one last week.

It feels cold and damp outside.

I need to stop and buy wine on the way to the pizzeria.

Later, I’d better look for a thicker jacket.

But now it’s  time for a glass of wine and maybe the latest Sandi Hester video.

Cheers🍷🍷🍕
