More painting

I wasn’t feeling at my best this morning, I have been having rubbish nights on the recliner so thought I would try the bed again last night. Gave up on that soon after midnight and went back to the recliner. I think the night disturbance is making me even more tired as I am usually feeling okay once Iget up. But being positive is the mood of the moment so I went to the shop before catching the bus up to Freeport to see what they have lined up for me to paint today. Yesterday evening I painted the first of the Russian door set, I hadn’t marked it very well, the pencil smeared and I changed some of the lines. I really wasn’t very happy with it but took it up to the studio so it can be fired, along with the mug that ai painted at the weekend.
None of the samples I have done recently have been fired yet, so maybe I will see one next week. Had a drink with Rob before starting on a rabbit. Obviously a take on Peter Rabbit. Forgot to take a photo before I started but did take one whenI had done the first coat of brown.
Took a couple of hours,so another one for the kiln!
We have some snowdrops I the front garden!
Had another delivery of bird food supplies yesterday so got that sorted out this afternoon.
I may do a workshop at the studio and it will be a decorated flower pot. So I have brought one home to make a sample. More of that whenI get going.
Feeling weary so will take it easy and join Tina to watchThe Traitors later.

  1. I really feel for you regarding the sleep problems you're having. All things considered I think you're doing very well keeping so positive. Don't think I'd be quite the same 🙂
    You've managed to do a fair bit of pottery painting at home and at the studio. The rabbit looks great and will be even better when fired. I'm sure the Russian vegetable will be great too. I still think they're a great idea 🙂 I'm intrigued about the flower pot workshop. I'll look forward to hearing more about that another time.
    Hope you sleep a bit better tonight.

  2. I think the rabbit will be cute, hopefully it will inspire people to have a go. I will get on with the other veg and fruit, it will certainly be different!
    Soon be time for The Traitors, a pity it finishes this week.☹️
