Thursday 03. 09. 20 After yesterday’s experience I decided to go out and paint outside directly. This is an old ruined cabanon about half way between Liauson and Salesc.

Wednesday 02. 09. 20 Decided to paint these fruit this afternoon. It was very satisfying to paint from “life” again instead of photos.

Saturday 29. 08. 20 I have been fiddling around with this one all week. Finally finished it this morning. It is the first one in 3D.

Tuesday 25. 08. 20 Went over to see Jonathan at the Ronzier-Joly care home this morning and to give him some magazines. He was cheerful and in good spirits and asked after everybody. Came home and finished this portrait in oil pastels of my boulanger and his wife.

Friday 21. 08. 20 After hearing the new mayor’s speech yesterday I thought that I would send him my idea of putting posters of local paintings in the empty shop windows to brighten and inform the streets of Clermont. I sent this along to the Mairie and will be interested to see if there is any response.

Sunday 16. 08. 20 Philippe brought back a bottle of Chouchen from his trip back to Brittany and we all enjoyed a taste.

Saturday 08. 08. 2020 M. Fabre is often found pacing outside his Men’s Clothing shop on the Grande Rue. Also did a new Franglais based on our discussion of European and Breton history.

Thursday 06. 08. 20 I’m 79 today!!!

Friday 31. 07. 20 I think I have finally finished this one after working on it off and on for over a year. Plus did today’s Franglais. A busy day!
