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
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

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…
