What with a sore toe and sore back I’ve been spending more time than normal at home without going out. It doesn’t  take long before I need some exercise and some human contact.

I was thinking about this recently. It’s  all relative . I  know at least 2 people who never left their houses for years. Though they did have regular visitors. I can’t imagine not being able to go for a walk or a coffee or shopping or to meet friends. But during lockdown I must have managed.

Anyways unless it’s  torrential rain I’m off to see what’s  happening in Pisticci.

Today I pottered about with watercolours again. I was a bit bored.

So I thought that I’d do something difficult.

I like to try difficult things because if I fail then it is because the subject was too complicated.

I’m quite liking the tiny books.

Next I tried a larger version of a similar scene, but on bigger paper and using neocolours as a base.

After a small siesta I thought that I’d try something else. 

Maybe I’ll  pack up the watercolours tomorrow and start another big still life. I have two weeks until I leave for Scotland. Plenty of time to do two if I feel like it.

I’m so glad that I’m feeling better.

Maybe I’ll go and set up a new still life now……

Or have a glass of wine…..

Cheers 🍷🍷
