BLOG about PAINTING

I find that when I’m painting every single day, things tend to go reasonably well.  However, when I miss any days, then I really struggle to get back into the groove.  The marvellous pianist/composer Paderewski put it so well: “If I miss one day of practice, I notice it. If I miss two days, the critics notice it. If I miss three days, the audience notices it.”  

We’ve been so busy lately foraging for mushrooms and then dealing with our ‘haul’ (it has been an amazing year for mushrooms!) that I have barely managed to do any painting at all.  Many of the pieces reflect that.  They’re either too fiddly or they simply don’t convey what I’m trying to express.

So today, I chose to do clouds, an old favourite.  Not great results, but at least I’m painting.
