It's cold.

I must get back to the studio and start working. It's just so cold and I'm making excuses all the time why I need to stay at home. Yesterday I cheered as Wales beat France in the Six Nations Championship glad that I was in my sitting room and not in Paris where it was bitterly cold. Over the years when I've had no choice but to go to work each day it has never been a problem but now that I can please myself it's too easy to look at the weather and stay at home. My thoughts don't stray far from painting and my mind is constantly reviewing, planning and mulling over past work thinking all the time about future paintings. The guilt is always there.
