It just occurred to me, Mr Ploos, are you able to sit at all beside the cooker and do your 'earth work? Is all that standing good for the legs? When I was painting at a stand up table, owing to the large size I was working, I had a tall stool. I did both - stood and sat depending on how I felt. Don't recall if standing was a big deal back then. But if you choose to stand a lot, then you want for a bit of carpet or soft flooring to stand on.

Either that or have another household appliance installed so you can spread out.

How are the legs now anyway? Hope you're well.

Another thought about art supplies and your cooker -- in a pinch to keep the cost of art supplies down, you could always burn your roast and use it for charcoal. I've done the former, but didn't have the wit at the time to put it to an alternate, artistic use. You seem a right smart lad. I expect you could even mix your own paints.

Hi Mac yeah the thing about standing is when the pain in the feet gets to bad you have to stop painting

And start walking for ten minutes which excercis's the leg mucel's which then reduces the swelling so

The Doc rreckons where if setting don't feel pain so if drawing for 3/4hors only when getting up

You relized the legs are numband fall over About the paint don't everybody get it from

That little wheel thing in the corner..........Mac......Slainte.....Statte. BBone ..Si.....Si

Glad You finally painted Your Queen in this jubilee!
At Roland Garros tennis tournement I just saw Andreas Seppi who fought very well against the nr. 1 of the world rating, Djokovic now in final (not a French I think) and eventually lost in 5 sets, but he was still satisfied (being only nr. 23).
I also enjoyed very much our little girl sara errani who won the double and lost the final against the Russian Sharapova (nr. 1 too). Not bad at all.
