Wednesday, 1st January 2025 - Tom's Apple in Oils

Happy 2025 to you all. Any resolutions? Mine are the usual, eat less, drink less, exercise more. They will be broken within a few weeks but my intentions are good.

We were surprised that we still had power this morning after a very wet and windy night. Unfortunately an ailing tree had succumbed to the wind and lost a couple of rather large limbs. From the house it didn't look too bad but after donning our wellies and raincoats on closer inspection it had clipped the edge of the greenhouse taking out a couple of panes of glass and squishing a water butt. The spindlberry was in the line of fire and now horizontal. We have a lot of clearing up to do. The nasty bit is the glass from the greenhouse which we cleared most of today.

I have finished my postcard project. For January 2025 I am doing The Strada Easel Challenge. I am taking part so I can win an easel!!! No harm in being positive. Every day - oh yes, you paint/draw/create a work of art only from life. I thought I would start simple. One apple in oil. Blimey! I am glad you didn't hear the expletives emanating from my studio. Felt fantastic to be painting something bigger than a postcard.
