6 Saturday 10th December 2011 3.30pm A beautiful clear and cold night last night with the brightest full moon, got up at 4am and went outside, strong shadows from the moon, so much light you could see colours. I have not been able to paint this week as I have cut off the top of my left thumb with a scalpel, a stupid accident cutting cardboard. Have had to wait for it to heal a bit, not so sore now so I am painting today but still with an embarrassingly large bandage. Really cold at last with snow and gale force winds in Scotland but no wind here so able to work relatively comfortably. When I got on the hill the big black welsh cows and bull were standing where I work. They wouldn’t move and stayed close for half hour watching me set up the equipment and start painting. I forgot the tube of blue paint and managed to make a convincing blue sky using just winsor violet, winsor green and white. Something of a technical challenge but surpisingly successful I think.
