Abstract Landscape Painter.  Rural Dweller.  Lover of Modernist Art and Design.

14 February

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Here, eating breakfast,

Are a ram and six ewes.

After providing animal foodstuffs, I walk and then return to the studio to make use of my newly prepared boards.  Millie settles herself under a blanket on the armchair and I switch on the radio and get stuck into my painting.

The bright morning is replaced by a grey and wet afternoon, but we are cosy in our little shelter.  From the window I see the gulls being blown around by the wind and the crows sitting on fence posts and scouring the meadow for food.  When all my concentration has been squeezed out, I wash the brushes and set them in their places for tomorrow.  I am suddenly tired and retire to the house to light the fire as the daylight disappears (and provide canine foodstuffs).
