Aubergines

Hiding from the weather in the studio today……brr a bit chilly. Hoping the sun will come out soon so I can get out to paint. I’m hoping to be painting at or near Blenheim on Saturday so praying for some sunshine.
Anyway, aubergines are the order of the day.

Heading back home again for a bit of Mummy duty. Got to get all of this month’s haul in a suitcase along with something warm to wear at home……hmm. I know which will take precedence. Some are going in the post and some to galleries so lots of framing and running around to do when I get back.
Will be back online in a few days……hoping for some snowdrops to paint if Imogen hasn’t flattened them all!

Latest haul!

Sometimes, I seem to paint a subject that people love and aubergines seem to be one of them. More troubles here, more people killed…….I’m looking forward to some peace and calm when I get back but many here don’t have that luxury.

The last of the aubergines for a while maybe. I can feel a baba ganoush coming on. I thought you might like to see my makeshift studio. I have commandeered the “conservatory” part of the living area in our house. This has meant switching from cheap household turps to the low-odour stuff which is difficult to get here. Hence my baggage allowance is suffering. It’s not as wonderful as my beloved studio at chapel cottage but it serves it’s purpose while I’m here. The wider bowl is a Pakistani piece. There is a name for this type of ceramic here but it escapes me at present.

The  sun is shining here and the temperature is perfect – 24ish. Although I’m really looking forward to coming home to the UK  next week, I know I will feel those icy winds.  Still, I can’t wait to hit Waitrose!

Hello from Pakistan!  Well, I made it and haven’t turned back although I will be heading home in the next couple if weeks.  It’s been a journey, in more than literal terms but I am feeling positive now that I’ve managed to source some turps – you have no idea what a mission that was!  One of many.  Anyway, I found these lovely fat aubergines in the veg shop which had a power cut (total darkness) whilst I was in there buying them!  I will be home well in time to pop this in my suitcase and post out to anyone who might like it.  I don’t want to bore you all to death with tales of my new life but some of you have expressed an interest. With that in mind, I thought I would do a separate newsletter so if you’d like to receive that, email me and I’ll out you in the list.
