Hmmmm.
Not the best news on that one.
Currently painting walls full-time, to make up for year and a half off painting Bonefire, when I was at least partially, a kept woman.
Not great timing for TWOSH as we were in full flow, but the job is surprisingly good and round here, paid work is rather scarce for a woman past 40.
It has been quite a test actually. I used to be a decorator in my twenties, before kids. I loved it and frankly never thought I would get that kind of work again. The offer came out of the blue and I could not say no to the chance to really contribute to the family kitty.
However, it is shredding me. Time and energy for art is reduced to a pea. The work is fine and has made me physically strong and brave, but my Boss is at best a mentally-inconsistent clown and at worst a boorish tyrant. Everything I do is wrong and everything I say, ridiculous and 'typically female'.
As you can imagine; we have so much in common.
....So, if I am to manage my commissions and Bonefire commitments and not murder my Boss, poor Sarah has to wait.
Something will give in the next few months, not sure how though, so for now I have to go with the flow.
Probably not a great update, but there it is.
Thanks for asking though.
