It’s  getting near the end of the most inspiring holiday I’ve ever had. To book a month in a strange city and stay there by myself was quite adventurous for me. I wasn’t sure that I’d  be okay. It would have been easy to get a train home if I was not happy.

This morning it was not surprising, I suppose ,that I would feel sad.

However after a few texts and ordering a round table from Amazon I was quite cheered up. ( I may be quite shallow….)

A round table has been significant here. I’ve  been painting at the round table in the bedroom, with two doormats cut to fit the top, next to the window. I’ve painted places that matter to me and various other subjects.

I’ve eaten breakfast and watched helpful videos at the round table in the kitchen and I’m sitting here writing this now.

Today was the day I returned to the art shop. It was so nice to talk art with the lovely lady who runs it. I bought the last special set of  neocolours .

And she liked my new top I bought in the market. To be complimented by an Italian is special.

She’ll be in my book.

I didn’t feel like staying in so I went off to sit by the river near the castle. 

So I fixed it with one of my new colours.

This afternoon I started a new sketchy painting.

There might be a storm tonight. In the meantime I went out for half an hour and found the film makers again.

A nice thunderstorm would be very welcome as it’s  very hot.

Cheers 🍷🍷
