Views to this site are at a historical low and its no wonder. The good news is that after an eternity I have finally arrived to my beloved countryside location after 6 months of agony and uncertainty. The enthusiasm to continue painting is certainly there although the logistics of setting up the studio mean more delays. The studio is currently full of our household contents. There is also a damp issue that needs sorting and there is no electrics or lighting. There is also the small inconvenience of a 4 month trip to Mexico starting mid November. However, all the elements of a full return to painting are there and hopefully I will be running through the cornfields with easel in hand by next summer.
