My final blog for today!  Still much to do but I am now going to pack up.  I expect tomorrow to be a busy day away from the studio but will most definitely return on Saturday.  I have another painting in mind after this one - in the same vein but it has red and yellow poppies.  Then I will need to buy some more canvases before I can return to European people studies.  I have put my animals on the back burner for the moment.
