Good morning, Readers!
Today's high is supposed to be 22. 22, after a week of 30 or higher, way higher with the humidex, is just going to be heavenly! I can finally turn off the air-conditioner I have in my bedroom, and sleep with some fresh air coming in. The low, you see, will be 13. Just lovely.
The heat and humidity is awful here in the city, and while I appreciate the longer days, and the fun warmth would normally bring, you know, if we were in the plague times, it's just too, too much for my blood.
I was made for colder climes.
I'm too insulated against the cold to be any good in the heat.
I'm a sook.
Anyway, sufficed to say that I'm really, really looking forward to a cooler day. Hyped, even.
The heat makes it incredibly difficult for me to concentrate, so I haven't really been getting much writing done - a smattering here and there. I have been keeping up with my editing, though, since I have someone waiting on me to finish it. And I have been doing my French lessons.
And I've been painting.
I'm almost done the piece I started last year and wanted done before the end of the year. The same piece that I put in the corner of a room facing the wall because my first attempt at clouds looked entirely terrible. I like the sky much better now. i don't think it's great, mind, but I like it better now. I like the mountain much more, and the foreground cliffs look pretty decent too. I have just the subject of the painting left to complete, then I add in the details and the painting will be done. I had given myself until the end of the month to complete it. I might be finished a couple of days early.
Then I shall move back over to my oil painting lessons and finish my first oil painting ever next month. I hope.
I wrote before about how happy I am to return to painting, and I want to reiterate it here. I really am so glad that I returned to painting in general and that piece in particular. Ir's not a spectacular piece, but it's good enough for my skill level that I'm not ashamed of it.
I'll post pictures when I've finished it. Promise.
Right, I have writing and editing and painting and French lessons to be getting on with. Probably some Beat Sabre too so I can pretend I've exercised.
Ciao!
