Mixing Up The Art Supplies
I started the day with a small oil painting, a study in a canvas sketchbook. My subject was a still-life of two oranges, a blueberry and a banana. This is me trying to kickstart a (maybe) daily oil painting practise. I hadn’t pulled out the oils for a while, and I really enjoyed playing with…

And Then There Were Three
I worked on things that can’t be posted yet, and also brought this triple set on a bit. Til the morn, Suzanne 673/700

Revisit and Remix
I spent some time flipping through this sketchbook and making notes on things that caught my eye, and then for this page I combined a few things in ways I hadn’t previously, which gave me some new ideas. Machines can’t do that. Til the morn, Suzanne 672/700

The Art of Procrastination
My To Do List is seasonally long, and so today I spent all my time painting, and that is the art of procrastination. As part of my mission to finish one of my A3 sketchbooks before the year is out, I painted these three pages. The To Do list will still be there in the…

Canine Intervention
My sometimes lodger on canvas. I will try not to fiddle with this any more, because I could so easily lose the likeness. Til the morn, Suzanne 670/700

Pile of Digits

Another day where I can’t share most of what I’m working on because, well, it’s December 😉 so here’s today’s warm-up sketch. Til the morn, Suzanne 668/700

Figure Drawing Filler
I can’t post most of what I worked on today because of the time of year, and things must remain secret, so the least impressive piece is the image for the blog. I was using up some paint for this sketch in my A3 sketchbook, which I would really like to have filled by the…

Extremities I and II
I don’t think a painting is ever finished, but I have called time on these, beaten my deadline by a day, and written up and submitted the forms for their inclusion in the small works section of an annual exhibition. More on that in the new year. Ta da. Also, I am amused by today’s…

Nearly There
This one is almost, almost finished. Just a couple of tiny adjustments that I am noticing in the photo. The pair to this canvas is needing a bit more work, so I am aiming to finish both tomorrow, which will be a day ahead of the deadline I set myself. Clever me. I suspect the…

Art Interrupted
Today’s plan went out the window. I was happily bobbing along, working to plan, when I got a message that the vintage bookcase we bought at the weekend was going to be delivered. It was bought, paid for, and labelled Sold, but we weren’t expecting them to deliver for a while because they usually wait…

Dragging Myself to the Finish Line
I am within touching distance of the finish line with this one, and the painting that is its pair. I’m really hoping I can get the finger out tomorrow and resolve both of them. Ran out of daylight again for the photo, but that’s life here in Scotland in December. Til the morn, Suzanne 663/700
