It is all downhill from here or if you live in the southern hemisphere happy days are here again.  The days are getting shorter and the nights draw in.   Up here in the quite high latitudes it means sunrise 04:40 hrs and sunset at 21:32hrs which is great at the moment but every day it will get about a minute shorter and before long you start to notice it.

All well and good but I have started yet another painting, this time using my new brushes and I have had a so far positive experience.  There is an awful long way to go with this painting and every brush stroke seem like a battle but slowly, I hope, I’m winning the war.  Lets hope it isn’t false hope.
