Almost Blank Postcard
I have a LOT of things swirling in my brain today, but none of them are ready for fingertip processing. I painted, tho. Til the morn, Suzanne 194/200

Unexpected
New art supplies rock, and they rock even more when someone just surprises me with them. The ceramic palette is one of those things I didn’t know I needed until it was handed to me. I love it. I do have a couple of others, but this one is a nice size, and it’s also…

Ideas a bubbling
Today is an odd day because I have lots of sketches but I don’t want to publish them here as they are ideas for a painting, and I want the idea to continue brewing before I start sharing about it, if that makes sense. My warm-up sketch isn’t part of the project, so I’ll use…

Pfft
The reference photo for this sketch is a picture of gentle serenity, and I sketched this while a man spent six hours repeatedly mowing the same small, tiny, patch of grass with a petrol lawnmower, so I think I definitely translated my mood into the sketch. Til the morn, Suzanne 191/200

Self Portait
Late last night I got a blast of inspiration and started prepping a canvas for today. I did say yesterday that my six little canvases might end up shunted again soon. I heard someone referring to this as ‘simmering’ and I suppose that’s a nicer way to put it, it’s definitely more constructive than ‘shunted’…

Pot, Pottering and Portrait
I painted and pottered for several hours today, working in my sketchbook, and also carrying on with my six little canvases. All six now have gel transfers of the odd little face motif from one of my drawings, and I’ll start painting them tomorrow, unless my brain takes me off in some other direction, which…

Blue Woman
This orange background has been sitting in my stash for a short age, and then today I added more stencilling around the edge, and added this sitting figure that I am enjoying just now. She isn’t finished, but I know what I want to do next, and I’ll let that be my starting place tomorrow.…

Monday Postcard
I spent some time swatching colours today, and mixing with a limited palette, and I also got stuck in with three gel plates rotating for a bit, but my favourite postcard from today is this sketch. Til the morn, Suzanne 184/200

Skull and Red
It’s very weird accepting the death of Murphy even though I knew that it was not going to be long. I just knew. He wasn’t my dog, he only came to stay here for his holidays, and odd weekends here and there, but he was tied up in the story of my own dog who…

Inspired By Old Sketchbook Page
I’ve probably said this before, but there are so many videos on social media flipping through perfect and beautiful sketchbooks, and that’s all very relaxing to watch, but my sketchbooks are a clusterbourach of discombobulation, especially the older stuff. That’s fine, there are all sorts of ways of filling a book, and although I have…
