The Disappearing Muse

Well, I really wanted to spend the day painting today, but sadly the rapidly approaching deadline for our Extended Statements meant I spent the day hunched over the laptop grumping and grousing! Why is it when things are going (reasonably) well in the studio, something intervenes? Howard Hodgkin referred to his muse as sometimes disappearing round the next corner - I hope mine is still in the room when I get back! She's a very elusive creature....
Anyway, here's a detail from one of the paintings I'm working on at the moment, inspired by the glorious acid yellow of the rapeflowers which can be seen in fields everywhere at the moment. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish it in the next few days. Wish me luck.
