Coping With Long Covid

…currently…

….everything I do is split into “manageable” blocks interspersed with breathing exercises…

…all in aid of me not being an exhausted quivering blob at some point in the following 72 hours….

…stacking the fire wood for instance…

…I can manage four barrows, loaded and unloaded, before I need to rest…

…to help my befuddled mind I place one block on end per barrow as I go, so as not to exceed my measured limit….

…28 blocks equals 28 barrows equals 3m of nice macrocarpa winter warmth…

…or…

…(after the obligatory rest period)…

…tonehenge…

…(excellent)…

…(my mind seems to be misfiring at its usual level)….

Paintbook Twoo/3

…holy crap…

…I haven’t posted a paintbook page since before I had covid….

…that’s like September last year!….

….and this is what covid did to my painter brain….

…was going to try and emulate the background-circle effect as seen in the last post….

…with something in the fore ground…

…covid brain neglected to process that in sketchbook I was doing the foreground first and the circles were generating from points on said foreground, not appearing as a fixed/regimented background….

…like the one I’d just finished producing….

…over two pages…

…mmm… thank you covid brain….

…(at least I know I can paint circles, right?)…
