Summer time today

Wow, what a hot day. Got some great time for gardening, had some concetrated goes at a large painting which I'm pretty pleased with so far. But failed to do my arts council application for the exhibition in November. Come on Jude, don't forget that's a priority for the weekend. Maybe I'll get time to look at it in my lunch hour tomorrow ...

The dead palette

Turpentine

Grrrr, just walked round Fort Greene looking for a hardware store to buy some turps as Debs was going to give me an oil painting lesson. But I could not find the store. Bought Blanaid a nice pair of turquoise and pink gloves from the Dollar Store, popped in the Greenlight bookstore and gave up.
