Happy Hogmanay!
I started the day with ten pages left to fill in this sketchbook, and ended the day with five pages left to fill, and so I’m closer to the end of the book than I thought I was going to be. Happy Hogmanay! Til the morn, Suzanne 683/700

Lightbulb Moment
My beautiful, amazing, low energy, high happy, SAD deterring, art daylight bulb in my studio popped. Deid. Dark. Defunct. Replacement tomorrow. In fairness it has been lighting my way since April 2024, and I am old enough to remember when lightbulbs were far less stoic. Naturally today was a very dark day with zero attempts…

The In-Between Times
We are in the In-between Times where no-one knows what day it is. Someone asked me “what days is bins?” and I said “Saturday. But I don’t know what that means.” Today was bins, and they were emptied, and still all is not well in the world. I wanted to write “all is well in…

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…

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

Today’s Warm-up
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…
