In 2025, being as I was off work with a broken shoulder, I
never really had to face what can be a real issue when I’m trying to do the
challenge properly. When I’m doing it properly I’m trying to make the best
paintings that I can make, but that takes time. Some days, I just don’t have
enough of that particular commodity.
Like yesterday. After work there was my car to pick up from
the garage where it had undergone the annual MOT test. Then it was my job last
night to finish making the meal. Then there was eating it. All of which meant
that I didn’t actually start painting until after 7pm. That’s an issue. Why?
Well, in the room in which I paint, even at this time of year when the longest
day of the year is only a couple of weeks away, once you get much past 7pm you
need the lights on, and I much prefer painting in daylight to painting in
artificial light.
I whacked on for two hours and got as far as you can see in the picture. But you know, I’m an older feller now, and I was knackered. When I’m knackered, I have to think about how it will affect me in work the next day. So I stopped at this point. The plan is to finish it tonight. Watch this space.
