Ploughing on... rather out of it, its just paint application.

Builders gone!! Didn't get anything done yesterday - though day before mapped out next painting ('waiting for Chemo') - wrongly. Got ALL of today! Not due for anything until 5.00pm.
The american client has allegedly put dosh in bank though no sign of it yet - sold several books - and glory, got a pay pal notification which I didn't understand and turned out to be payment for 2 catalogues, P M and V. Normally delete pay pal stuff unread... oh dear.
Off to studio

Painting around the ladders left by builders who will be back tomorrow... tweaking away. Decided that a pair on this topic is enough. Bugger Salome, its all too mis. Will probably paint flowers. Got to Limoux yesterday and found some needful paint - burnt umber and phylocyanide,(which comes up on the spell check as streptococci)  both of which I've run out of.

Here's why the studio's been unusable.... its weird, it seems there is a skylight there but the square of light in the photo is in fact a reflection from another (real) skylight. The team are letting it dry out. Then we decide if it must be plastered etc. At least its safe to use the stairs now - and the dears have re-routed the guttering to cope with subsequent floods.

Apart from that - I cycled intending to watercolour and didn't; I mean, why??

But did some prelims for Salome and think I'm not going to bother with that one either (see above)

Not quite as bad as it looks...

builders back today, don't know if I'II be able to carry on. Worrying instead about Salome who is next in line for the abuse of children series and a useful one, because of the mothers complicity.
Not sure if I have the stomach for it though.

Men off roof and did a few hours yesterday - painting coming together, by which I mean major changes needed. Later.
Delivery came, now have 9 expensive canvases but want to finish the ones I've made - which have led me down strange paths, in order to deal with my inadequacies. May develop that.
Secretary of client has got all the info to hopefully conclude the commission... client talking about 'tweaks', me not actually mentioning suicide.

Skylight open and men on roof - today, tomorrow, who knows for how long. Impossible to work.
Another request for CD cover PLUS a request for a logo. Sent sections of images for the CD and about to deal with the logo though actually I think its hot bath and relax time - oh, one third of the expected delivery came, tiny tubes, hugely expensive. Canvases?  No sign. Delivery man knew nothing.
