Too hot to paint this week, record-breaking heat today, and forecast to be hotter tomorrow and Thursday. Heat is good for painting, but it has to be cool enough to be able to open the windows.
Drew out the basic outlines for 'All The Broken Hearted' yesterday. This morning, collected paintings from Nantwich Museum. Both had crude overpainting of the mirror plates, which damaged one frame substantially. I needed to do a lot of paint removal and restoration to fix it; solvents, scraping, wood stain, painting; but now it is restored. Have rehearsed my song for the Ray Davies night in Congleton, a rare night of performance on Thursday.
I'd like to do more work but it's too hot for many jobs, lost productivity. Later today, delivery to Bunbury Church.
