19°C, still air, 30% cloud
Beaudesert: returned there to enjoy the sun and draw in sweet smelling air. The ground was very wet, but the route did cross a lot of springs just below a ridge. Dragonflys buzzed the pond, but I couldn’t get a focus on him with my camera. That is the only disadvantage with the Sony R-1, compared with the Canon SLRs (for example), apart from that, pictures come out remarkably clear- with almost crystalline sharpness. The R-1 was the perfect choice (but you can’t get them new anymore).
I finished the day with a delicious German beer and jalfrezi/curry made by me.
Can you sense contentment coming from my direction?
Painting (Turpentine): got off to a good start today.I’m trying to be more methodical with this one, no leaping in and hoping to clean up afterwards. Portraits are more critical, this one is bigger than my usual A3-4. To reduce the risk, do the groundwork first and use first class source material- (good quality photographs).
Tired: well not exactly, but sleep has been poor this week. Today feels fine to me, there is lots of energy in my legs so tomorrow I intend to get physically exhausted (guess how 
).
