This weekend was a long one. I haven’t been too well; sinusitis and the associated antibiotics have left me really poorly. My wife got a bit cross at me trying to still be busy. The problem is that doing nothing is so bad for my mood, so I occupied myself with some painting.

I’ve just got these amazing vivid vitrails and I’ve been learning how to use coloured metal leaf to add gilding to things. This afternoon I finished this piece I’ve been working on for my mum’s birthday.
