Thursday 15th April.Arrived at the studio after taking some work to be exhibited in Living North Spring Art Fair. Rolf and Raija were there. Raija and I took some photos of my work space then I continued to paint,listening as usual to my ipod compilation to keep my adrenalin going. It was a cold grey day with sea fret billowing round outside.

A knock on the window drew my attention to the smiling face of my friend Linda Kaye who owns Studio 1 in Tynemouth. She gave me the thumbs up sign and said all looked good. We chatted briefly, then she took a photo of me working.

Other people passed by and peered in to look at our work and read the publicity texts on the outside walls of the studio. There is a feeling that we are attracting attention to our project.Will be glad when the weather gets warmer. It's a strange feeling when your hands become too cold to work.
