So the last day of my holiday has ended, Friday is now a distant day,hello Saturday! I only have the weekend remaining before I am back to work, but what a productive two weeks, I have ridden the ponies every day….apart from the last couple of days that have been wet and stormy. I have painted every day, tidied up my painting cupboard, and managed to do a few bits in the garden ( it didn’t need much as it has been so dry I have not needed to get the mower out for a couple of weeks). I have visited the vets with one of my poorly cats ( she is fine now). Took a trip to the art shop, yippee. Lastly my daughter got her A level results, and happy days she achieved the grades she needed to get on the graphics course in September, at bournemouth uni.

Although I will be limited in spare time once I am back to work, I am planning to try and continue painting as much as possible. I have enjoyed pushing myself out of my comfort zone- figures and new medium, charcoal. So to end Friday, here is another play with charcoal, this time on a much larger scale.
