Links plate 4

Having said I'd finish this near the start of the month - here we are, rapidly heading into August.  This leaves me about 6 days to complete the 5th and final links plate if I'm to stop falling further behind...... sadly, I think end of August is more likely.  The problem (apart from having too much else on)  is getting bogged down with detail.  The more we go along the more I want to add, not just to the flowers, which aren't that detailed as flower paintings go, but to the backgrounds too.  I may have to go back over everything adding bits at the end - at this rate 2023 is a more realistic publication date.  My only hope is a long spell of unemployment  when my current ranger contract finishes. Great .
