I had

 Another week of good weather, let's hope it continues.  I've been continuing with PleinAirpril, even though we did have a couple of days of rain in the morning, and I had to paint from the conservatory.

I've done  a couple of oil paintings this week and made a few adjustments to one I had done a couple of years ago.


This is the one I made adjustments to.  It was very dull (although the mill is very dull!).  I brightened the sky and that had the biggest effect, then just brightened up some bits and pieces.  Overall, I am more satisfied now with the painting.

The two new oil sketches are below


 This one I completed today, and I just have to make some small adjustments, but overall I am quite pleased with it.
This is the other painting I did yesterday.  I have had to note in my computer filing system the size of the painting, as I have done this before and now need to try and do them larger.

Other than that, I have been swimming, even though my knees still hurt a bit.  We are going to have major traffic works on the road to the pool, so next week will be my last week of swimming for a while.   I had better use the time sensibly!
