What I'm working on - the week ahead. (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all safe and well and coping with this pandemic as best you can. The uncertainty of it is difficult for us all. 

I went back to the doctor today with my leg. I was greeted at the surgery door by a nurse in full body suit. She had gloves on, a mask and a plastic visor over her eyes. I had to answer questions and have my temperature taken before I could enter. Inside, most of the waiting room chairs had been removed and there was lots of space between those that remained. There were chairs lined up against the receptionists' counter so that patients couldn't get too close. After the visit I had to go to the pharmacy and many of the shops in the shopping centre were closed. It feels surreal. 

Update on my leg: two doctors looked at it and they decided a 2nd round of antibiotics was needed. They used a coloured marker to draw around the edge of the infection and told me if it spreads any further I'm to go straight back...sigh. I have to go back on Friday to have it checked again 🤞🏻.

I enjoyed reading all your messages about what was happening in your part of the world so if you have any news I'd love to know.

As far as painting goes - I have completed two Hummingbirds. I couldn't decide whether to paint one flying or sitting so I painted one of each 😳. I'll be working on tutorials of them this week. Yesterday I also did a quick pen and wash lighthouse for the beginners. It's a fun little painting that you can do really quickly with no fussing.

This week I'll be posting my 'sky' learning video and the Chickadee and I'll try and get the little lighthouse tutorial done for you as well. Keeping busy is a good way to carry on in these difficult times. 

Thinking of all of you!

Louise
