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

Not Me
This not a self-portrait, it’s a painting from a painting combined with looking in the mirror. It looks nothing like me, other than a flicker of the emotion I have been feeling when looking at the feeds this weekend. Til the morn, Suzanne 239/300

Showgirl
I did some figure drawing practise today, and I quite like the way this sketch turned out. I was using a larger brush than usual, which made some of the details quite challenging, but that’s the fun of it. Til the morn, Suzanne 238/300

Mirrie Dancers
I’m still obsessed with gel printing from orange bags, and obsessed in general with my little 3×5″ gel plate. Aside from playing with that, and more work filling my little gel plate sketchbook, I made a face in my A4 book. So many ways to make a face – realistic portraiture, or using a reference…

Scuppered
I had a nice little plan for today, and idea, and a continuation of a project. I was feeling all positive about how I was going to get started without resistance, and have a super productive day. Unfortunately the plan involved using a small collection of specific collage fodder that I collected together a while…

Wonky
I got stuck in with a few things today, and made some progress in an old sketchbook that I really want to complete. It’s turning into an interesting mish mash of ideas, and a sourcebook I’m going to set the goal that it’s done by Samhain, so I think that’s around a page a day.…
