Forgive me. I have sinned. It has been four months since my last blog.
I can't remember much of what has happened in the last four months. Did I tell you about my new art studio? Yes, I think I did mention it in passing last time I posted on here. It is now finished (almost) and I have been doing quite a lot of painting. I will see if I have any photos on this computer.
I have found a couple of studio photos. One interior showing a painting.
How are you keeping? I am well and pleased to say I have not succumbed to the pandemic. I am lucky to have lots of space around me and plenty to do. However I am now entering week five of the lockdown and distancing and hoping it won't be needed much longer. My thoughts go out to those souls who live in homes with not much space. I would definitely go stir crazy in that situation.
The strange thing is that before this all happened I was quite happily deciding to spent the winter of my years painting and making stuff and never leaving home again. Those thoughts have been banished. Should I be spared I will get my camper van on the road again and not be a stick in the mud. I ain't ready to give up yet.
What a strange situation this is. You couldn't make it up. Well, you could but only if you were writing a book. I think we have almost ridden out the storm.
I don't know if anyone is reading this. I wouldn't blame you for giving up on me after all this time. But if you are, please stay safe and well.
