I have been absent because I have been packing, and moving, and travelling. Last Friday I finally made it to the Island, and yesterday I finally got to start painting. Only, I found I had almost no white paint in my paint bag – which meant I had to paint very sparingly, carefully controlling the amount of white I use (and I use white in everything, basically.) Painting sparingly is not nearly as much fun as painting liberally – so tomorrow I’ll go to town and fetch the vast supply of spare paints in my car. From then on, I hope to be painting almost every day. I’m very happy to have finally landed, and here especially.
