hot, hot, hot

Going out to work up on the scaffolding there is no escaping. 39 degrees today; who knows what it was up under my vaulted ceiling. Tomorrow is the last day of work for a while, the building will be closed, locked, bolted, secure for the summer break.

Tonight I went to discuss a long long painting I need to do... fortunately there is no hurry for it, as it requires lots of minute detail. I think it will be a winter project, painted by the fire!

Two portraits have to be squeezed in before October, and the other project work is ongoing.

Tonight we have a luna rossa, a red moon. Zacchi is barking furiously. It must be his first one; I have been lucky enough to see four or five now.

Today I am grateful for work piling up ahead of me.
