Currently I'm listening to Pavarotti on loud volume. My daughter is not loving it. But I reckon she'll get her revenge when she reaches her teens :)

Had some alone time today and used it to paint two landscapes from around where I live. I recently found myself in possession of a tube of indigo from Winsor & Newton. And I do think I rather love it. Currently I'm working on patience, letting layers dry before painting over them. And I do...
