Colour Note
I spent a lot of time today organising books. I have a lot of books, but never too many. There’s no such thing. The problem, and it’s a nice problem to have, is that moving two large bookcases to my studio room means choices have to be made about what goes in those bookcases, and…

Second Pass Colour Play
I continued playing with this little painting, adding some colour in a very limited palette, and using fluorescent magenta as the mother colour. Til the morn, Suzanne 242/300

Happy Accident
I’m not feeling wordy today, or perhaps it’s more that if I start, I won’t stop. This is a painting I started today, and I love the happy accident of the daisy in the eye. Til the morn, Suzanne 241/300

The Workbench Works
My new workbench arrived and I am completely smitten. It’s absolutely perfect. It will take a few days for me to sort out what goes where, because this workbench is going to be a workbench, not a handy flat surface to store odd things. It’s actually smaller than the wobbly table it is replacing, but…

No Time Still Arted
100 Day Project Day 98 A busy day with visitors today, so not much time for art. This is especially challenging when it’s day 98, so to break the streak now would be disappointing. With around twenty minutes for an art session, I grabbed one of my 6×8 watercolour blocks and grabbed supplies at random…

Blending Skills
100 Day Project Day 90 I can’t believe I’ve made it to Day 90 without missing a day. I was not expecting to get it quite so successfully in the bag. Go me. I randomly picked up my copy of Austin Kleon’s gem of a book, Show Your Work, which I highly recommend. I haven’t…

Two Colour Limit
100 Day Project Day 56 What happens if I make a colour palette using only two colours plus black and white? I started by selecting one colour, and I set myself up for some fun with fluorescent magenta, because why not? I decided to go with a green so I was in complimentary colour territory,…

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…

Vermillion and Mars
100 Day Project Day 17 I have a confession to make. I bought the sketchbook. I’m beyond redemption. Oh well, fit a shame, never mind. It won’t arrive for a couple of days, but I did get a new tube of vermillion acrylic as my old one died a death that no swirl aboot with…

Mini painting to the rescue
100 Day Project Day 16 Today is one of those days where the creativity didn’t happen. Some days are like that, and it’s OK. I am committed to this 100 Day Project thing, tho, so I didn’t want to miss a day, so I went to my trusty 6×8 watercolour blocks and grabbed a blank…

Cerulean Blue Muse
100 Day Project Day 4 I am still wildly procrastinating over finishing an oil painting I am working on. It really only needs one more pass, but my flow was interrupted, and now it has this invisible and currently impenetrable shield around it. It’s productive procrastination, tho, as I have been doing a bit of…

/end *waving at all of this*
I am now boasting eight pages of my 100 mini paintings project. I am having a lot of fun with this, which means I’m ignoring other arty projects just now, but it’s all good.
