And now back to our regularly scheduled programme!
..Well, almost, anyway. I will be spending the rest of this month working different sizes than I did in January, oscillating between much smaller (10x10cm) to much larger, such as this 12x16 beast.
I very vividly remember taking an early, early train ride from Aberdeen to Edinburgh, and looking out the window to see these beautiful cows (I cannot not be 100% certain, but in my head they were best friends) chilling out and relaxing near this immense cliff covered in gorse flowers, leading all the way down to the water that looked downright purple in the semi-cloudiness. I don't know if you've ever smelled gorse (otherwise known as furze) before, but it's almost a cross between coconut and plumeria. If you see these little yellow flowers (growing on dark green prickly bushes), please don't hesitate to smell them; that scent is downright intoxicating!
