Painting

Our big task this summer has been to paint one of the sheds and my log cabin. At last they are all done and looking pretty.

We have added a clock over the door.

I redid the window frames, door and bits round the roof of the machinery shed with a dark green which gave a nice contrast.

Then my husband decided to make a new shed for the storage of his dingy.

He has cut out the base and will put gravel over it to make sure it is well drained. Not that we have seen much rain in the last 5 months.

Not to waste the nice grass that was there we took it up the field to the veg garden to make a new path. We have decided to reduce the area we grow veg in and paths help divide up the veg garden so we (actually, me) will find it easier to weed the small sections.

Now we have finished painting outside for the present and I am taking some time to get back to some hobby painting.   I needed some inspiration so ordered a few library books. One called Daily Painting suggested setting yourself a target of doing 4 small paintings every day of absolutely anything. That helped.

I then found this book by Fiona Pert whose style I liked. One of her exercises was a multi coloured sheep.  How come my sheep look demented or cartonish?

I will bear with the instructions and keep trying !
