In Amsterdam, by luck, I met Lino Hellings. She advised me to keep my work diary on-line, exposing my work methods rather than protecting them, risking the humiliation involved in failure. So:celebrate error. In my heart I knew this to be a good idea. My brain, horrified, fortunately tells me it will be too boring for anyone to read.

Both been a bit altered - another two in the pipeline, plus some other stuff. Cracking on :)
Bob was away for a week so I changed houses - moved to the warm one. Which meant moving bathrooms. Hes back now so I'm back in original space, where I left Emily Carr's journals.
-I'm going to have to start quoting from her, she is uncanny.
Maybe its only because I'm doing landscape things

Peter can't come drawing so spent today in studio, allelujia; quite like the way things are going. Plus they'll be OK for the December expo (I must have known that when I started the series, so appropriate) Lets hope the can be finished and indeed dry in time.
Got a facebook page up for The Book. Its still selling :)

Sod all happening, unless my unconscious is grinding away... today my first day at home (=Toulouse, Caca) and alone (Allenna been visiting) Now Bob away and all that beckons is housework.
Did get a usable idea about the Tree of Life. And have a plan to go drawing with Peter D on Friday.

Flash of insight, at last, and resolved the landscape. Not finished - surface too wet - but know where I am. Rather like the idea (=barriers) and will follow through.
Tiresome business. Symptoms of this and that plus inertia and jumpiness, not nice...all stopped as resolution occurs, weird eh.
