2025 in Perth….3 weeks left….

Hopefully in 3 weeks I should be back in Pisticci.

It has been good staying with Katy and Mark. There is enough space for us all not to bump into each other too much. I’ve spent a lot of time happily painting , ( or watching antiques programmes on TV ) in my little  room. It’s warm and comfortable.  I like having my own space.

I hope my little house in Pisticci doesn’t feel too much like a “shed” when I get back. I’m anticipating a fair bit of cleaning needing done and maybe a bit decorating.

However it should be good to be home and see friends again.

It was mostly sunny today.

View from my window around 4pm.

It looks like I was staying and working in a friend’s house in the country in June 2018.

We did a project mainly using anything but paper.
Like the way the heads look sat on bricks which I found in the garden
I’d forgotten that I painted this here.

It was easier to paint big canvases with more space.
I painted this using the stem of the rose
Girl hidden in wood
All flowery for midsummer.
The reference photo for the big painting.

Then back home…..

I think this was a portrait of a special olive tree.
Painted this on glass . I was living in my little artist’s house  and painting in my studio house.

Grumpy me. Painted on a large piece of wood I found behind the wardrobe.

Wine time now. Been a tiring day.
