Nesting

My mind is a blank. I am in cashdayjob mode and I have been trying to think of patterns to use in my Bun Hanzo painting all day but customers kept getting in the way... Stu has been messing with carving the obeche frames with lino cutting tools and then painting, sanding, painting them with results that I feel may go somewhere pretty interesting. Last two frames in for painting and sanding for the angels and the Number Four pictures; also managed a quick bash on the little box canvas this morning before work. This is for the Marchmont Gallery and the only spec. is 'wintry', so I am going for blues in colour and the song in my head is a Laura Marling track off her latest album where she sings of scarfs and England covered in snow. Lovely song although I can't remember the track title. Thinking about how much I love the French language; 'nom de plume'. Excellent.

Dinner beckons, the cats are wandering restlessly and the radio is chatting away; it is stormy outside but all in here is warm from the oven. Pretty good in the world.
