Worm Squirm
I have been revising lots of mss. but haven’t done anything new, apart from revisions and paintings. Very little has appeared on my blog recently and this is the first post after an absence of five days. Oh dear. Facebook has been barren too. Still: can’t be helped. Better days are on the way.
Here’s Worm Squirm. It’s part of my series of Pocket Paintings / Peintures de Poche, so-called because they all fit neatly in a pocket. They are easy to carry around and yes, I have something bright to look at, even when the skies are grey. Inner grey or outer grey, there’s nothing worse than a grey day. Everybody needs a spot of painted sunshine to brighten a grey day when it dawns.
It’s been a great year for painting foliage, too. Nothing better than to carry a pocketful of painted leaves to remind you of the natural beauties of our picture province. So make it a sunshine day, even if the skies are grey!
I like the idea of “having fun”. I always thought our pastimes and vocations should be as such. Makes life more interesting and worthwhile.

Fun and mystery. If there’s no fun, there’s no future. Chris Laidlaw: New Zealand scrum half. Rugby could be on the way out. There’s not much fun in it anymore!

I’m glad you keep a ray of sunshine in your pocket, Roger. I love the gloomy, rainy, chilly days too—I find I’m more productive then, less distracted by that pesky sunshine making everything look so pretty 😊
Keep on!

Great to hear from you. I have been doing lots of what I call ‘painting’ and making a mess while at it. Great fun. I am doing lots of revision too. Living life and enjoying it: that’s the main thing.
