A year of Poverty, Painting and Food: Twelve years in catering over, my aim is to paint full time. Stu, my other half, is stuck as a chef feeding the x-thousand over an Edinburgh winter. His cooking tips and budgeting are propelling us through the year on a tenner a day, while I paint.. No comparison to Pablo's talent; I have just named my blog after the Paris studio where he suffered the twin purgatory of poverty and artistic ambition on the cusp.. I am emerging!

Found wanting

Lacking inspiration, motivation, feeling a little gloomy once more. This is not to say that opportunities are not presenting themselves and plans are dormant; to the contrary, I am racing ahead in my thoughts for the year and have reason to hope at the moment that we may be successful in our aims. Maybe I could do with a bit more time on what I want to do and a bit less smiling in a customer-friendly manner under neon lights? Should be careful what I wish for though really, or watch out for biting of hands that have kept me solvent thus far...
All will dawn clear and bright soon I have no doubt.
Started reading Hemingway at last and not sure if I like him that much. Or maybe that's part of the mood.. we shall see.
