Zeus

Hand with bangled covered wrist cutting canvas with scissors guided by stretcher bar, monochrome

It did get cooler. We had a couple of days of rain. The plants around the house are lifting their heads with relief. The stinging nettles are particularly energetic.

I took the opportunity to stretch canvas.

The canvases are the platforms for paintings which I will show in November at the Flying Colours Gallery in Chelsea.
