The pandemic, the lockdowns, the house renovations and the wait for knee surgery all characterised the past two years and made it somewhat challenging. It was made all the more so by an enforced break in work when I couldn't get to the studio. Now two weeks post knee surgery with my 'flu and booster vaccinations behind me I'm eagerly biding my time when I can return to painting. These next few months are not my favourites so I'm content to stay away from the cold weather and keep warm exercising my knee ready for the Spring when I'm back to the studio again. The time will go quickly with Christmas already a matter of weeks away. My head is full of colour and ideas for vibrant canvases to welcome a new, better year. A new year, a new beginning!
Tomorrow. Oil on canvas. 2021.
