  • Happy Hogmanay!

    Happy Hogmanay!

    I started the day with ten pages left to fill in this sketchbook, and ended the day with five pages left to fill, and so I’m closer to the end of the book than I thought I was going to be. Happy Hogmanay! Til the morn, Suzanne 683/700

  • Peachy.Keen

    Peachy.Keen

    It’s a bit of a rubbish photo because my replacement daylight bulb didn’t arrive and this is Scotland in December so there’s barely any daylight at all. It was painted not quite by candlelight, but at least it was painted. Til the morn, Suzanne 681/700

  • Lightbulb Moment

    Lightbulb Moment

    My beautiful, amazing, low energy, high happy, SAD deterring, art daylight bulb in my studio popped. Deid. Dark. Defunct. Replacement tomorrow. In fairness it has been lighting my way since April 2024, and I am old enough to remember when lightbulbs were far less stoic. Naturally today was a very dark day with zero attempts…

  • 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…

  • 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

  • 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

  • Extremities I and II

    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

    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…
