Productive Play
100 Day Project Day 31 Today I have been switching between several projects, anjoying being in The Zone, and tryingt to ignore whatever my perimenopausal body is throwing at me today. I’m definitely not going to be officially at menopause in March next year, ho hum. I was playing with coloured pencils doing some mini…

Photo Finish and Pots
100 Day Project Day 30 I finished a class painting. Woo Hoo. It’s for the Let’s Face It course I am doing, and I am so pleased to have completed Week 8 on the day the Week 12 class drops. Ha. I lost the momemtum a bit around mid February, and I think that’s just…

Sunday
100 Day Project Day 29 I heard about an artist who is making art despite being displaced from her home. Her name is Hala, and as far as I can tell, she is currently displaced to Rafah, in the south of Gaza. Today Netanyahu has stated that he still intends to invade Rafah, despite international…

Procrastination Summited
100 Day Project Day 28 Today I was absolutely committed to finishing the oil painting class that has been hanging around forever. It didn’t need a lot done to finish it, it’s just that it ended up in the Procrastination Place, so every step ended up seeming more monumental than it really was. I enjoyed…

Still Salty and Also Blue
100 Day Project Day 27 I have to put this in writing here, the world is terrifying. A lot of very rich people are doing very bad things, and some of them are doing it from a platform that is a public image portraying them as some sort of loving, inclusive hero, when what they…

Bit Salty
100 Day Project Day 26 Under other circumstances I would not be including the image of the paintings I did today, because they don’t look like much, but I’m committed to succeeding in this 100 day thing, so here they are. There’s a lot of water on there, as well as the salt, and they…

Keep Going
100 Day Project Day 25 Today has been a rough day, and I don’t have much to say. I did get a line drawing onto some watercolour paper, so it wasn’t a total washout of a day. Tomorrow is a new day, Til the morn, Suzanne

Lotus Pods
100 Day Project Day 24 Last night an idea developed in my imagination that started out from, actually I’ll save that part of the story and tell it when/if the idea is resolved on a canvas. The next develpoment of the idea was this morning’s sketchbook practise, that involved making these graphite studies of lotus…

Quick Messy Face
100 Day Project Day 23 My darling lurcher lodger went home today, and although he was only here for 3 nights, the house now feels empty. I had a lot of boring things to catch up on, which I did, but I was perilously close to not getting any art done, so I grabbed one…

Landscape Sketch
100 Day Project Day 22 A driech day, but perfect for a wander with the lodger lurcher, and driech means less bams. We wandered the edge of the field, and I took some photos for references later. Our lodger, however, was much more interested in sniffs, especially sniffs outwith his usual repertoire. He’s an older…

Sketchbook Saturday
100 Day Project Day 21 Day 2 working in my sketchbook with limited supplies while keeping my lodger dog company. He slept like a log. I filled 10 pages in one of my A5 books, using coloured pencils, neocolor II crayons, watercolours, and water brushes in various combinations. My favourites are the two portraits in…

Lurcher Lodger
100 Day Project Day 20 I have a doggie pal lodging for the weekend, which is food for the soul. He’s a bit of an old man, so I will probably be lodged downstairs on the couch keeping him company. That’s what I did this afternoon, and I took a sketchbook and a limited selection…
