What a difference the weather makes to the human condition… last week I managed to get back into my studio (a.k.a. the garden shed) for the first time in I-don’t-know-how-long, dodging the awakening queen wasps and actually making a start on some work. Today I have been out all afternoon drawing at the local holy well (not to be confused with Holywell, which is not quite so local). A really tranquil and restful spot.
Thoughts about the SSC are less tranquil, as there is still no sign of a contract. However, we’re all meeting up again next week to introduce ourselves to our prospective life model, and I’m also hoping to meet the students. I hope they realise what they’re letting themselves in for – I hope someone’s told them that there will be a lot of research, and drawing and thinking involved (worry, worry, worry….).
