Haven't been in the shed for more than a few minutes at a time for months due to weather while winter was cold and reasonably dry Spring so far has been very cold and much wetter than usual. I'm currently working on a painting of an Astrology wheel for my wife, slow progress as she's allergic to the smell of undried acrylic paint.

hi damien, i am not doing any building at the moment, cant seem to get my mind into anything yet just reading a lot
it sounds intersting, being a fan of the stars at night programe here in the uk can you post a photo of it. i have a wheel that shows all the planets and other constalations etc. is that what you have.

No David Astrology is the star signs of people eg. my wife is a Taurus & I'm a Gemini the Wheel comprises all 12 signs.

I would'nt worry about it Damian, last couple of years my progress on main projects is sporadic at best without a working workshop and combined with this years awful summer, I'm forced to minor projects in the dining room table and with the upcoming winter season even less is expected.

A bit of cheating with this one as I know next to nothing about Astrology when Jo expressed an interest I did a search and found this one on Ebay
The cheating is it's paint by numbers it has lots more detail than I'd normally put in my paintings.

my mistake damien this old age thing is really getting to me . the painting by numbers looks good, but if you have done one like it then you must have a steady hand.
