Evidently, sickness is no impediment to creativity – if you can stand at an easel you can paint (at least, if you can stand painting). Well, I didn’t want yesterday to be a complete washout so I returned to my Berber Bride in oil and nearly finished her. Earlier paintings in the series were painted in pastel; interestingly, the effect is not entirely different. I’ve attached photographs of the oil in progress and a pastel print.

Oh, I feel hot – think I’ll take my temperature again.
