When the weather is cold and I’ve been unwell I’m
glad I can write and paint. As long as I don’t have to move I can work and
enjoy it. Last month I painted birds of prey and horses. This month I’m moving
through the different breeds of dogs. There are so many and so many variations
between breeds that the various combinations are countless. Next time someone
asks have you got a breed I haven’t painted I won’t feel silly.
However bad I feel Lottie still needs her walk. Today
she trotted ahead briskly as if following some alluring scent. Whatever it was
she didn’t find anything. I was amazed at the signs of spring all around, from
snowdrops to crocus tips. Above the birds in the trees are full of song. It seems
far from the snow of last week.
We may not be travelling but there is plenty to see
on our doorstep.
