A return at least. The problem with having to divide my time between painting and the rest of my life is that it gives me too much time to think about painting, and that is not a good thing for me. A week of digging holes and mixing concrete has damaged my delicate and sensitive artistic sensibilities. A deserved weekend break has allowed a return to painting and a significant improvement and reworking of this painting. It is heading towards a finish, the sky and foreground need more work but it is looking good.
