Freezing...

The weather is truly vile today. Very cold indeed and raining heavily. I have just sent off for a SAD lamp. Even the BG ( sceptical about such things) is convinced that I have the condition, having seen me transformed into a buzzy, upbeat thing by a ray of sunshine. Not much of that of late...or not for long enough to make a lasting difference. After all, it was only a week ago that Spring seemed to be in the air...

Have also ordered a whole stack of books on twentieth century English Landscape painters..many of the St Ives school, but including Paul Nash, Eric Ravilious and the wonderful Ivon Hitchens. I wish I had a lifetime to study, learn, practise...but I don't..so I must crack on. ENough of this seasonal gloom! Pick up a paintbrush, woman, and stop whingeing!
