Not so much finished as abandoned... wanted to go to Carcassonne today to check out their Corbet but driven back by floods. Done nothing; the pix Im on are too wet and Im not ready to start a new set. Flooding kept me engaged.
And Micheal has died so sadness abounds. No, more like anger. Feel cheated.
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.

Trolling along quite happily. Cant evaluate the work yet. Energised and cheerful anyway, dreams v vivid. Rather moral. In that they seem concerned with morality, or what I call morality. Lies (don't); 'I will not listen to this'.

A 'wedding' dream - echos of alchemy. Very powerful.
Painting trundling along but maybe I want to change landscapes, not paint them... regret my age and incapacities.
Made the crown thing yesterday and most impressed, following some of Picabias dictum of least resistance. Not finished. Enjoying too much to complete perhaps.

Still daubing, between distractions. Don't know why I'm so inept... energy low, perhaps.

Back at work or what is currently passing for it. Sitting in studio staring at the paintings I was working on before the interruption, wondering what the hell I was thinking. When I get bored with sitting, I daub a bit. Dreadful. Have lost faith in myself.

Cleaning nearly done - there's always more, of course - and things nearly back where they should be for my comfort and effectiveness.
I'm easily sidetracked. Delighted myself with this old drawing of Leon so stopped work to frame it.

Fitting that the first posting of the new year is not about work- again. Still trying to get studio usable, did my back in yesterday moving furniture around. Wearing a large corset affair. Thinking about taking up knitting.
