22 Thursday Nov 2015

On course - studio as clean as its going to be ( I tell myself that cleaning it properly when I get back is the re-entry to the work -) Just got to pack some clothes and stuff and Im ready.
Many invites sent to the PV.
Will get some wine for the band today... and off tomorrow morning.

Done, innit; and I've just removed the photo of the one I'd thought to finish before leaving but it ain't going to happen and it makes me squirm.
Just hope its salvagable when I return.
So; tomorrow is clean palatte and brushes, get out the last of the PV invitations, cook dinner for guests; Thursday is cleaning and packing and farewells. Off Friday morning for a month.

Re-done foot, fiddled a bit, def stopped now. Leda nearly finished, likewise angel one.
Got off nearly all the invites - got lift to London in place for Friday (door to door over 2 days, lovely) - have to do targeted FB  invites and some small number of invites before I go. Pacing myself nicely. Stomach hurts though:)
Really want to finish the 2 remaining pix because if I loose touch with them for the month Im away they will have to be junked. Alors, back to studio.

Finished this - or at least called a halt so it'll be dry to give Rushton on his birthday next weekend. (Based on Botticellis portrait of Aquinas)
All other pix going well. Brother-in-law being very obliging and I get to work as and when... got to spend some time getting the invites out for the deptford show and doing a fb group invitation which is an interuption Im not relishing. Then its London for a month. Buggerit have to finish the Tobias/angel one before I go or I'II loose it. Also need to repaint the pig one, cant stand one of the feet.
