of the fan and the high temperatures means that even in my comfortable and privileged setting I am suffering a little bit. I have never believed that I should suffer for my art, art is difficult enough without having to suffer as well. I will tough it out this year but if these are the summers of global warming then I will invest in an AC unit which will only make global warming worse, but my art comes first. Painting is going well. Its only when you spend hours looking at the same landscape do you start to see all the very odd shapes of the trees and markings in the fields.
