Peter's painting made me smile The sheep on the side of the hill are the best.
But an hour to apint the sunflower, I would still be ther on ONE petal, yesterday I was waiting for molgind paste to set, got impatient so how to go and do the food shop, didn't end up with many meals, my mind was back at my easle, is it dry yet?????

[Rosie]

They lock the door from the outside so I can't escape - so I have to find something to do. My section nurse says that if I am good today I can have a chocolate button. Little does she know I was bad today and have already had it!

Erm, sorry - I will be alright tomorrow

[peter]

Choccy buttons????? My God! This girl must have gone private!

Having read the wrapper I am a little concerned that it has a Vetinary Advice Line number and the instructions state - Not for small dogs

I see what peter does when he can't sleep - he counts sheep
and then he paints them ...

Lovely pieces, so in fact you carry on painting while waiting for the others to dry is that right? Good for you
I do carry on sometimes, other times I go and read, take the dog out ok so I am boring! I can't help it.

Dont you use a stay wet pallet???? I just lift my paper and add a bit more water, putting the lid on helps.

[hawkwood]

nah.... I tend to work fast and 9 times out of 10 I'm done before its an issue but cursing it gives me a chance to vent my frustrations on something that is unlikely to hit me or leave me for doing so.

I should probably consider one for work where drying dose tend to be more of an issue due to a thinner paint mix.
