Venus is at the gate … just a few more glazes to finish … maybe fiddle with the flowers. But I have to put her away for a few days to get back to some commissions … as my teacher used to say, “time to feed the babies.” Tonight I’ll have my customary signing ritual … my first in the StudioKitchen. Steak for dinner, with lemon and olive oil, salad and then Scottish shortbread cookies with espresso for dessert. And then I’ll sign … time for a new signature, at least for this one painting … I saw it in my sleep last night.
