Beaten by time and weather.

Some days you just can't win no matter what.

Today was the yukkiest and coldest day out,

not cold in northern hemisphere terms

but freezing in sub tropical terms.

Yesterdays overnight temperature was so cold
 (10 deg, yes that's cold here) that I'm sure I saw 

icebergs floating out on the bay

and today wasn't much better.

The whole day has been dark and dreary,

as was my mood and that is not good

for painting.

My painting for the Artist's playroom, who's theme

this week is Rainbow, is not finished.

The cold stopped the paint drying

and the dreary bit made it hard to see.

So a not finished painting will have to do

this week. 

It's not a great shot as

it is so dark (at 2.30pm mind you)

that I had to put the lights on

and my head kept getting in the way of the light.

Here is a bit better shot, but 

half of the picture is missing.

It shows the original photo of a bunch of flowers.

If you are interested in how I did this

there are some pics here.

I am putting this into Paint Party Friday,

so go on there and see what 

artists have done this dreary old friday

and of course then go over to

the Artists Playroom 

on saturday

to see what's going on there.

I hope your weather is better than mine.
