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!

Primavera forever

Having a bit of a Boticelli-fest; used some of my very welcome vouchers on the WHSmiths website for a Taschen binge in their sale. Durer and Boticelli are with me now, Raphael and another one I have forgotten (oops) are winging their way to me soon; great bedtime reading
/looking at pictures. Also whisked Stu into Homebase to purchase some useful power tools for his developing framing career; the Morso is still to come but that will not be joining us until we have a workshop to put it in! Feels good to own a jigsaw at last; I am still holding out for my electric screwdriver as this is not seen as such a necessity - it is with my pathetic wrists..

And... had a trip to the very lovely Stationary Express (buy local!) for my page to view diary, day book and petty cash folder. Things are moving forward.
