    Finding a Cool Spot

    The weather is meant to change overnight and I can’t wait. I didn’t even bother with going in the studio today, and just grabbed a sketchbook, neocolor IIs and some fineliners and worked in the coolest room in the house. I worked in my A5 spiralbound sketchbook, which is quite random inside. I filled a…

    Art Journal Progress

    I have this A5 journal that I have been playing with for months. The project started with sessions of random mark-making, stencilling, stamping, scribbling, and whatever came to hand, until every page was no longer blank. In the meantime I have also used up excess paint, written in phrases, and occasionally worked a spread to…

    Batching Gesso

    Most of my time today was spent priming canvases and other substrates as that’s about as much as I could muster while Storm Darragh blew everything around. Gesso on canvas isn’t very photogenic, so when the lull in the storm came, I did some more crow sketching in my A4 sketchbook. I used a brown…

    Deer Morning

    A morning walk in the cool, dampness with my senior lodger was a lovely way to start a new day. We were surprised by a Roe Deer, who was just as surprised by us, and I knew it would be a better day. The deer was in a place it isn’t supposed to be, as…

    My wee bam, who is my parent’s dog, is lodging for a couple of nights. He’s a senior boy, and now comes with a bag of medications and instructions. I try not to think about whether this might be a last visit with us, but the thought crosses my mind. I absolutely treat him like…

    100 Day Project Day 87 We didn’t get to see any more Aurora because the short window there may have been some visible required a lack of cloud, which our postcode could not provide. This is not unusual. I guess you could say that aurora going on behind a blanket of cloud is another pretty…

    Lurcher Lodger

    100 Day Project Day 20 I have a doggie pal lodging for the weekend, which is food for the soul. He’s a bit of an old man, so I will probably be lodged downstairs on the couch keeping him company. That’s what I did this afternoon, and I took a sketchbook and a limited selection…
