Day 13 of 30

Early start today. Got sort out all my painting gear as I'm off to Norfolk for the weekend and then a two day workshop at Morston, Monday Tuesday.

First though, into the studio.
I blocked this in yesterday knowing I was going to be very busy today.
I enjoyed the rich colours in the tomatoes and when I found this lonely Dahlia in the garden, I knew I wanted to paint it.
The checkered cloth was an after thought as I thought the balance wasn't quite right.

This was done very quickly. I think I work better under pressure - no time to fiddle!!
Ok, off to pack the car now and make a detour to call in on a poorly grandson
