  • The In-Between Times

    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…

  • Revisiting the Year

    Revisiting the Year

    Someone is being shitty because I paint every day, or maybe it’s because of what I paint, I don’t know. It’s really none of my business, but it makes me feel a bit sad. I think this happens a lot to people who dare to just be creative. People don’t like it if you don’t…

  • Ten Minutes is Enough

    Ten Minutes is Enough

    I paint every day, come rain or Santa. Hope he was good to you, if that’s your thing. Til the morn, Suzanne 677/700

  • Merry Christmas Eve

    Merry Christmas Eve

    Season’s Greetings for whatever you celebrate, thank you for showing up to support my art journey. Til the morn, Suzanne 676/700

  • Twas The Night Before The Night Before

    Twas The Night Before The Night Before

    I started the day with another little oil painting, and the first thing I came up against is something I have come up against frequently, choice paralysis. I heard that phrase somewhere recently and it describes so well what happens sometimes when I really want to paint but can’t decide what. I think the trick…

  • Mixing Up The Art Supplies

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Pile of Digits

    Another warm-up sketch, hopefully the secret things will be finished tomorrow, or the next day. Til the morn, Suzanne 669/700

  • Today’s Warm-up

    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
