Big Bear Big Brush
100 Day Project Day 92 I really wanted to nail this today, but I’m stopping to let the paper rest before going in to fix the eye, and finishing up. It’s hilarious to me that I am avoiding like the plague another class piece because it’s watercolour, and yet I’ve dived in with this one…

Invisible Productivity
100 Day Project Day 86 I read something somewhere recently about ADHDers making to do lists is more to do with the endorphin hit of the doing – list-making – than it is about getting anything on the list done. It was a humour post by an ADHD person, and of course I can’t remember…

Not there yet
100 Day Project Day 82 She’s getting there. So many layers on this one, which is a lot of fun. She’s still in-betweeny, but hopefully I’ll wrap her up tomorrow. I get so caught up inb layers and then get to a point where I just have to move on. Til the morn, Suzanne

Poppy red
100 Day Project Day 80 Today I was researching cultural symbols, and discovered that I have the official flower of Palestine growing in my garden. It’s a plant I transported from my previous much more inspiring garden, and I’m so chuffed to discover it has a new layer of meaning to me. It’s flowering just…

No Bears
100 Day Project Day 77 I started my online day being served a very bad AI image of a group of young women being chased by a humongous bear. I mean all AI images are very bad images, not least because they steal from creators, but the women’s faces in this image were distorted and…

Unpredictable Misting
100 Day Project Day 76 Things that make my heart sing are myriad, and include drawing a face with a water soluble supply and then spraying with a misting bottle to see what happens. When it’s a supply I haven’t used before, on paper I haven’t used before, the singing goes a bit off the…

Three Ways
100 Day Project Day 75 I am three-quarters of the way through this blogging challenge and I am enjoying the fact I have stuck in this far. I am not sure if I want to stick to daily blogging after the hundred days is up, but I’m also seeing the way this has worked to…

Friday Finishing
100 Day Project Day 69 I spent a lot of time this morning avoiding my art room, and avoiding looking at my nearly finished painting. I spent a lot of time doing other things, but thinking about my painting a lot, and overthinking how I was going to finish it. In my head I created…

Scenes
100 Day Project Day 67 I started the day feeling excited about getting stuck into my new painting, but then the socials had me glued to footage of the escaped horses from the Household Cavalry running about London, with the grey (white) one covered in blood. The fact the clock at Westminster (Elizabeth Tower, Big…

Layers
100 Day Project Day 65 Something I love about doing a layered mixed media piece is the way the end result is never known until you get to it. The process of adding and pushing back, and adding and pushing back, until an area, or the whole painting, is resolved. This painting is an older…

The Cat’s Whiskers
100 Day Project Day 62 I finished a painting today, and I know how I feel about that. I started another project that involved journaling that brought up some unexpected darkness, and I know how I feel about that. I know how I feel about all the things that are happening in the world today,…

Artist Influence
100 Day Project Day 60 I confess that I got a new book today, or at least new to me. It’s a retrospective of the Scottish artist Pat Douthwaite, an artist I am currently obsessed with. Douthwaite trained as a dancer, then became an artist in later life, which is just absolutely right up my…
