Absolutely wonderful morning here. Was woken by Maria bringing me aubergines, cucumber and tomatoes. Just enjoying a few more days of having nothing desperately important to do. My Cretan dittany outside the kitchen door is still flowering, so I ought to do some work on my new painting. Above is my first attempt at this complex plant. I am really pleased with the new version, although it is taking much longer than normal. It is a much bigger painting than normal though. However, quilting still calling me - I am making a lap quilt for my friend Judi and it is not going as well as I hoped. The colours are great but I feel it needs something to add some oooomphhhh. Not sure what though.
