Today was our submission day for 3 months of research and paintings towards my pg Masters in Fine Art.

One of use has a problem so we've all been given a 24 hour extension.

I'm sitting here with the car nearly packed and ready to go with all my stuff ..... but I could start another painting and just hand it in not-quite-finished. But it's been a stressful few weeks and if I hand it in by lunchtime today as I had planned I can just chill-out and relax.

Or I could start the new painting. I have a fabulous idea but may not be able to pull it off in just 24 hours.. it would be better if I spent more time on it... I don't know if it would change my marks anyway.. but I would like them to see it... but not rushed...


Should I just go now and hand it all in?

Go now.
If you are going to rush it/not have as much time as you like, you will probably regret the decision.

Wise words from hc.
(for a change )

Yes. Go. There will be other opportunities for the new painting. Put your energies into that when you have enough space and time.

Thank you


I'm going now... yippeeee



(then I can come home and catch up on the hoovering I've not done for weeks )(..and wipe the paint off the dogs)

Glad you've decided to go

Poor pooches - you're not meant to paint them too!

Now you can sit back and feel smug, knowing that the job is done. Do the painting at your leisure, for your own satisfaction, and keep it in reserve for a future deadline!

Lottie's finished her coursework.

Hopefully that means she'll be around a bit more now.
