Swatching
100 Day Project Day 73 Today was an important day in the parly. The Safe Access Zones Bill stage 1 debate took place. This bill is designed to create buffer zones around healthcare facilities that prevent those accessing healthcare from intimidation and coercion from religious people who don’t have good boundaries… So I watched the…

Resigned
100 Day Project Day 72 I decided to post this drawing from today, because it’s the one that most closely represents how I feel. A bit discombobulated. It’s a Scotland politics thing. We appear to be off on another journey of battling to prevent the right wing bangers from taking over the government again. Ho…

Handy
100 Day Project Day 71 I have done something to my shoulder, and I need to practise drawing hands, because you can say so much with them. Til the morn, Suzanne PS not aimed at my beautiful readers 😀

Unsettled
100 Day Project Day 70 Things are not very easy at the moment here in Bizzum Towers. Our government (Scottish) is in the process of collapsing, and a bunch of right wing bangers are eyeing power, and some of them are within the party clinging to power, and some are not. It is very unsettling,…

Friday Finishing
100 Day Project Day 69 I spent a lot of time this morning avoiding my art room, and avoiding looking at my nearly finished painting. I spent a lot of time doing other things, but thinking about my painting a lot, and overthinking how I was going to finish it. In my head I created…

Random Emergency Sketch
100 Day Project Day 68 I was planning a day of painting and drawing, but that didn’t happen. Scottish politics saw some seismic activity, and one of my Special Interests is politics, and so I was engrossed. It does not feel like a good day. In other news… if someone love-bombs you then apparently rejects…

Scenes
100 Day Project Day 67 I started the day feeling excited about getting stuck into my new painting, but then the socials had me glued to footage of the escaped horses from the Household Cavalry running about London, with the grey (white) one covered in blood. The fact the clock at Westminster (Elizabeth Tower, Big…

FTP
100 Day Project Day 66 I really enjoyed the way this altered book spread came together. I’m not sure if it is finished, but that is the beauty of sketchbook/altered book/art journal pages, they can always be added to. It’s done for now. Perhaps it was easier to come to that decision because I put…

Layers
100 Day Project Day 65 Something I love about doing a layered mixed media piece is the way the end result is never known until you get to it. The process of adding and pushing back, and adding and pushing back, until an area, or the whole painting, is resolved. This painting is an older…

Bad Hair Day
100 Day Project Day 64 There’s a lovely post circulating the socials at the moment that tells the story of a studio who sacked artists and hired ai prompters to do the job instead, and they couldn’t do it. Their prompts didn’t generate quality work, and when they were sent back to make changes, of…

Poop
100 Day Project Day 63 I ruined a drawing today. I’m not joking, I might as well have wiped sewage all over it. In fact it kind of looks like I did. I was incredibly frustrated with it, and the way the painting was going, and I have literally shelved it. I am not amused.…

The Cat’s Whiskers
100 Day Project Day 62 I finished a painting today, and I know how I feel about that. I started another project that involved journaling that brought up some unexpected darkness, and I know how I feel about that. I know how I feel about all the things that are happening in the world today,…
