reached the fiddly stage - actually finished or near as damn it. One of them anyway.
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.

Lost the day, effectively - lots of in-house activity and then the dead tulips yelled at me to be done, unfinished and took all the studio time. Can't think why, maybe they'll be useful one day. Doubt it. Might have another go tomorrow.
Putting off the big picture that I actually want to do, but is a bit scarey.

Got to Carcassonne yesterday - came back rejoicing, with 6 100 x 100 canvases and 3 80 x 80. Was thinking how long it'll take to gesso them properly but realised that that is part of the engagement with the canvas, must be done by me.
Guests all gone, an oasis of time hoving up.

This little scene was over Bobs shoulder as I tried to snap him last night - last supper or what?? Charmed by it and its structure and can feel a new testament series arriving. Below, things I'm fiddling with. Backs gone so in corset, foot bandaged - I'm lucky some bits of me of working.Thursday, 10 November 2022

Marcus and Amilie have bought these two and will collect another 3 - Waiting for Chemo in a Time of Covid, Palais de Dance Macabre and War in Heaven.
This encouragement has seen me painting furiously since, or at least trying to finish the little ones about death that are lying about.
Can now afford some big canvases. Going shopping for them on Saturday.

Been dipping in and out. Trying to come to grips with what's been done and why. Quite captivated by a couple and again, don't know why. Lala. Rather occupied with arrival of guests and my own need for order, which has been drowning for a while.
