Phew! We’ve been having a bit of a heatwave, like most of Europe, but perhaps not quite so hot. However 30-33 degrees celsius is about 86-90 degrees fahrenheit which is unusual for us. Even the nights are uncomfortable.
I did take myself to a nearby village within walking distance where, from some partial shade from a wall, I was able to make a pencil sketch of this cottage. It looked as if it might be empty, but equally it looked as if someone might have been doing some work on it. Behind the tree on the right was an Estate Agent’s sign. Despite the little bit of shade it was still hot, so I added colour to it back home. It occurred to me that I might possibly be able to make more than one painting from the same image over the next week or so, if I can find the time. If I haven’t melted in the meantime.
