16th November

The day began with a visit from an artist friend who brought me violets. I decided to drive her home to St.Ives and visit my allotment since the weather was reasonable. While I was there I warmed a tin of soup, reconnected with the land and created a new purpose for the figures from long ago that had been scaring the birds this summer. They now have the job of holding down mulch fabric I am using to cover my freshly dug beds , ready for spring planting.
I returned to the studio and began to cut away one of the two 'walk' paintings, which have developed from the larger 'walk' canvas, revealing the original painting behind.
