A break from writing

So, from April 1st to June 30 I’ve decided to take a break from the normal routine of life and go live in Bali – well for 2 months anyway, then it’s off to Corfu for another month.

The idea is to ditch agenda for as long as possible and reboot. Right now I’m sitting on a balcony overlooking rainforest and listening to the birds, crickets and frogs chirruping away. It is total heaven.

I’m in Ubud, the spiritual and creative heart of Bali, and the perfect place to start painting again. Hmm, I’ve realised how rusty I am though, my colour mixing has never been great but it’s dire at the moment. Practice makes perfect and luckily, I have all the time in the world.

Here’s some first attempts at portraits.
