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

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…

Dragging Myself to the Finish Line
I am within touching distance of the finish line with this one, and the painting that is its pair. I’m really hoping I can get the finger out tomorrow and resolve both of them. Ran out of daylight again for the photo, but that’s life here in Scotland in December. Til the morn, Suzanne 663/700

Knuckle Down
I worked on a few different canvases today, and I was avoiding these two, which are under my self-imposed upcoming deadline, but I did pick them up and do some work on them, so I can pat myself on the back for that. They are looking a bit washed out in the photos which is…

New Pose Workings
Tried out a new pose in my A3 sketchbook, and then I tried doing some small graphite sketches of the same pose, and I was not amused. I just really did not want to draw that small. I put one of the 20x60cm canvases on the easel and started roughly sketching a second standing pose…

All Fingers and Toes
I spent a lot of time colour mixing today, and making notes in my sketchbook, and then I worked on these two, and I think they are working well as a pair. I have been looking for another image to use for a third, but haven’t decided on that yet. I have chosen the other…

December Already
Batching the 12×12″ canvases today, and I played around with the colours on this one. In my sketchbook the painting that inspired this one was a very limited palette, and I have extended the palette a little, which I am starting to enjoy. I really like the version in the sketchbook, but this one looks…

Testing the Tints
Today without even looking at a canvas that is resting, I figured out what is bugging me about it, and what to do about that. I wrote that all down in the notebook I am trying to turn into a studio diary so the thought doesn’t get lost in all the other thoughts. I carried…

I love drips
Layers and layers of drips in a variety of media got things a bit out of control, and became a problem to solve. Drying time was long, but I eventually got back in to start pulling the figure back out of the drips. I’m liking the way this one is going. Til the morn, Suzanne…

Fingers and Toes Again
I have run out of pyrrole red, but there’s more en-route 😉 I did have enough for this painting in my A3 sketchbook. I did a few other bits and pieces today, but this is my favourite. I’ve painted a version of this pose previously in a more muted palette. Til the morn, Suzanne 618/700
