Today I worked on the painting on my own. The day seemed longer without Elaine to chat to, but I managed to get all the background painted in and I'm ready to finish it tomorrow.
I've noticed from today and yesterday afternoon that lots more people speak to me when I'm on my own. Today I spoke to an artist who is entering the BP Portrait Award. He said he was inspired by seeing me paint in public and we had a good chat about it all.
The weather finally improved today, phew! Bring on tomorrow!
