Surprise Shelf
I thought I was going to get stuck in with the new studio room set-up today, but the installation of a narrow shelf at the back of my workbench meant that there was another round of moving things. The wee shelf finishes everything off perfectly, so tomorrow I have no excuses for not painting all…

Cheap Sketchbook Success
In theory doing a straight swap of two bookcases and a table to a larger space than the space they were in should be quite a simple undertaking, but no… I’ve completely changed my studio room space, and as much as I am knackered from the decluttering and organising, I am soooooo happy with my…

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…

Still Cloaking
I have again been painting secret things that can’t be posted yet. So, another from the past, a favourite painting of mine, and a process I haven’t been doing much of recently, so putting it on the list of things to revisit. Other than painting secrets, I have been rearranging stuff to try and have…

All Will Be Revealed
I’m posting an older sketch from my Strathmore Grey sketchbook today, because the art and creativity that I did today aren’t for showing yet. It’s that secretive time of year, you know 😉 Til the morn, Suzanne 287/300

Art Interrupted
I started working on this little canvas again today, just blocking in some values, and deciding what I want to do next. Unfortunately the migraine I thought might start yesterday made itself known today, and I’ve had a lovely blurry day. poo. Til the morn, Suzanne 284/300

Fit a Trachle
A long day today. We had a lovely 7 mile walk taking in a bit of the River Ness, a bit of the Moray Firth, and a bit of the Caledonian Canal. Then some lunch, and catching a train late afternoon to return home. Unfortunately that train got stuck behind a broken train, so we…

Books and Wolves
I spent most of the the day browsing books, mostly in Leakey’s Bookshop (Inverness), and purchases were made. That was the whole point of the trip, so well done me. The tail end of Storm Bert was making itself known with rain and biting wind, so wandering about wasn’t the best fun, but we did…

Sunday Travel Sketches
Sat in a hotel room in very poor lighting on a very uncomfortable chair munching salad leaves and playing with my “travel art kit”. I took a 9x14cm sketchbook that I haven’t done very much in, and a cheap fineliner pen. I decided at the last minute to grab the travel palette that I bought…

Saturday Storm
Storm Bert upended all the plans for today, and we haven’t departed yet. This meant I had time to put the finishing touches to this one, and although it’s not my thing, I like the end result. Til the morn, Suzanne 280/300
