Obviously I didn't mean the ink pen


That is not a blogging tool. Not even a journal tool anymore. Such is the decline of paper. There is nothing like a book. I think with the exception of people who travel ALOT and can't transport all their books then anyone with a kindle or tablet for reading 'books' or 'ebooks' or whatever should have them crammed up inside their body. There is nothing like reading a book. Buying one, the smell of the paper, the sneer of the salesperson, ah wait, I am talking about books. The smile of the salesperson. The swish of the bag. Disappearing into a book is a wonderful thing.

Well that was a major digression. So I'm finished painting for the day and will hopefully have a kip and then carry on tomorrow. I'm enjoying/ not enjoying painting on smaller boards for a mix of reasons. The sheer squared space to not cover is such a difference (over 50%). Trying to produce compositions within such a restriction is pretty dramatic. But it is fine really.
