Let The Paint Flow
I’m firing on all cylinders today, and I’m thoroughly thankful for such a productive and enjoyable day. I painted all day. I painted all day. I’m savouring that, it was perfect. I prepped four wood panels that are potentially going to become paintings for an art call. I have no idea what I want to…

Feet
I did not spend a lot of time on art today, but I did bring this little project along a bit. I was hoping to get it finished, but that didn’t happen. I had to laugh tho, because the other day I prepped a bunch of surfaces for painting, and today there’s an artist call…

The Pixies Were Here
I spent today doing lots of surface prep, which means there’s basically some substrates with gesso, medium, or tinted gesso, which aren’t very exciting to post on a blog. I also spent a considerable chunk of time hunting for a small stash of collage pieces that I mislaid at some point. They’re for a specific…

Layers
I did not have a lot in the tank today, and just did a bit of work on this mixed media on cardboard project. Til the morn, Suzanne 259/300

Second Pass Colour Play
I continued playing with this little painting, adding some colour in a very limited palette, and using fluorescent magenta as the mother colour. Til the morn, Suzanne 242/300

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

Turquoise and Mars Red Oxide
It occurred to me yesterday that since I finished the last A4 sketchbook, I have lost a little bit of momentum, and the new A4 sketchbook and I are not having the same relationship as the old one. I don’t know if that makes sense. It probably doesn’t, I mean they are essentially the same…

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…

Blue Hair Day
Today I did some studio housekeeping, tidying overgrown piles, washing some gesso brushes, putting manky water in the cat litter bucket. Very glamourous. Then I worked in some sketchbooks, and procrastinated about virtually everything, and it was not creative or productive procrastination, it was unadulterated overwhelm at the state of the world. Eventually I got…

Deconstruction and Integration
A large piece of brown packing paper has been annoying me for days, perhaps longer. I saved it to paint on later, then slotted it into a place where it just kept getting in the way. Today I tore it up, and put it back together to make painting surfaces. Deconstruction and integration. I used…

Messy
I got messy today, making backgrounds. I am just needing to scrape, and smear, and spread, and mix, and play without looking and observing and seeing and scrutinising. Til the morn, Suzanne 214/300

Horsing Around
I was musing to myself the other day about the idea of blogging every day, and whether I wanted to continue after the 200th day or not. It seemed like a good cut-off point to decided whether to end my streak, or whether to carry on. I weighed up the pros and cons of doing…
