A productive day

This morning I walked up to Freeport and left early as I called in at Woods, the builders merchants as I wanted to get a couple of pieces of plywood cut. I had taken measurements and asked the very helpful man his advice on thickness. One piece was for the Turner jigsaw that I took so long completing and the other a piece big enough to have another go at the shaped humming bird jigsaw. I had to pay a delivery charge and they will hopefully be delivered tomorrow. Then I carried on up to Freeport and the studio. Quite a lot of things I have painted had been fired. Some more successful that others. A delivery arrived and I have another pig pug to paint as the previous one got broken. Firstly the lantern I painted quite a while ago.

Peter rabbit turned out well, I am going to be on hand for a couple of sessions if people want some guidance painting him.

The thee pansies I painted on a flower pot are quite pale so I am going to paint another one with brighter colours as I amusing it to run a workshop.

I painted the barn owl last week.

The second largest of my stacking ‘dolls’ is damaged at the base, and I am not happy with the middle one, so am gong to paint two replacements.

I saved the clock to last as that has really turned out well.

I painted a tiny flower fairy today.

I caught the bus home and after lunch I spent quite a while in the garden. I got the fifteen primulas planted but did a lot of clearing on the rest of the beds round the large lawn. The weather was pretty good and I felt good with what I had achieved. Didn’t take pics as I have more interesting ones today!

So, I really have managed a fair bit of activity today so will probably not move far from the chair this evening.
