2025 in Perth….oh dear…..

My printed book arrived today and it’s not very good looking which is all my fault for not checking it out properly as I was so fed up with it.

To be fair , the print is big enough. ( I was surprised to see how small print is in normal books as I’ve only read my kindle with enlarged print for the last 15 years.)

But some of the photos disappear almost off the edge and there are gaps for no particular  reason in other places.  I should have checked …although I don’t know if I would have been able to fix them .

Also I think it might be really boring .

I remember when I started to paint that I had to tell myself to find something good in every painting and try to do more of it. If I was to look at what was wrong I would have given up.

Even yet I try to focus on what I like in a painting. There are now more bits I like and less space for the rest.

I don’t even know why I bothered to try to write a book….and it is more of a diary written by someone trying to write a book.

On the plus side I like the cover. Which I made from one of my digital paintings.

7 copies arrived and I only ordered 5 …not sure if that is a plus.

It didn’t cost very much and should I want any more copies they will only cost around £3 each.

I think I’d better start again……maybe I needed to get that out of the way and now I should try to write fiction.

In the meantime  my painting is going well.

This morning I did some work on the one I began yesterday.

I think this might work very well

As I like to leave each one for a while before finishing them I drew the next one.

Drawing like this helps me to see how the composition will work. The shapes and colours are important.

I’ll likely cheer up tomorrow. I’m planning to have a whole day painting.

Maybe I’ll hide the books under the cupboard for a few days and see how I feel then. 

Definitely  time for a glass of wine.

Cheers🍷🍷
