Painting

I finally started my painting yesterday.... Its based on the beautiful gum/eucalyptus trees we saw as we drove around Australia in Feb. I have wanted to do a painting relating to Australia and all the memories from the past 20 years. For some reason these amazing trees seem just right, as a strong and positive image. It felt great to put aside nearly the whole day to concentrate on the painting.... and I am really happy with it so far.
Its been a good weekend too, as I picked up my "new" car on Friday night. We bought it from a lovely local family. It is nine years old... has a fan and heater that works!!!...and a CD player. It feels like super luxury after my old citroen and I am going to try and keep it clean and tidy...I promise.
The floor joists arrived aswell and today we fitted one in place using a joist hanger. Tel has got a day off work tomorrow so we are hoping to get the other 4 into place. We went to a reclamation yard this morning to look at windows and doors.... that sounds like it could be tricky?
