Heading towards the first winter in the studio, yet I am still painting bucolic pastoral scenes of my local landscape. Just goes to prove that I really am a studio based painter. Not that I am benefitting from any summer warmth, had a hat and a scarf on today, resisting the temptation to use the electric heater. Hope to keep a positive mindset as winter really sets in, I’ve always had the comfort blanket of a studio in the house. Good start for this painting.
