Old Copper and Rust
100 Day Project Day 32 It’s funny how a day that starts out in a clusterbùrach, and looks like it is going to be a write-off can be turned into a day that is good, and all it took was picking up a palette knife and scraping some paint around. I didn’t think I was…

Productive Play
100 Day Project Day 31 Today I have been switching between several projects, anjoying being in The Zone, and tryingt to ignore whatever my perimenopausal body is throwing at me today. I’m definitely not going to be officially at menopause in March next year, ho hum. I was playing with coloured pencils doing some mini…

Photo Finish and Pots
100 Day Project Day 30 I finished a class painting. Woo Hoo. It’s for the Let’s Face It course I am doing, and I am so pleased to have completed Week 8 on the day the Week 12 class drops. Ha. I lost the momemtum a bit around mid February, and I think that’s just…

Sunday
100 Day Project Day 29 I heard about an artist who is making art despite being displaced from her home. Her name is Hala, and as far as I can tell, she is currently displaced to Rafah, in the south of Gaza. Today Netanyahu has stated that he still intends to invade Rafah, despite international…

Procrastination Summited
100 Day Project Day 28 Today I was absolutely committed to finishing the oil painting class that has been hanging around forever. It didn’t need a lot done to finish it, it’s just that it ended up in the Procrastination Place, so every step ended up seeming more monumental than it really was. I enjoyed…

Figure Version 5.0
100 Day Project Day 18 Feeling a bit wordless as I’ve already written a post over on Substack today. Paint wise, today I have been working on two things. The first is the contiuning saga (in my head) of an oil painting I am doing for a Let’s Face It class. It’s an interesting one…

Vermillion and Mars
100 Day Project Day 17 I have a confession to make. I bought the sketchbook. I’m beyond redemption. Oh well, fit a shame, never mind. It won’t arrive for a couple of days, but I did get a new tube of vermillion acrylic as my old one died a death that no swirl aboot with…

Sketching With Oils
100 Day Project Day 13 I took a long time to get going with any sort of art today, despite having scribbled a list of things I wanted to get into to have a full-on art day, hopefully without also flooding the bathroom. It’s just the natural dust settling after my two days of creative…

‘Are You Listening?’ Submission Complete
100 Day Project Day 12 Today I was working on my affa muckle lug, which is a very large ear in English. I had to ride roughshod over a LOT of negative thinking, and my inner critic was very intent on trying to stop me from finishing this painting. The internal dialogues were going wild,…

An Affa Muckle Lug
100 Day Project Day 11 If Monday’s in-house waterfall wasn’t an example of my neurospicy brain in full elemental action, then today’s random explosions might be. I started out with the goal of simply writing a Substack post. I am trying not to just download my blog over there, so I am conscious I now…

Self Portrait Work In Progress
100 Day Project Day 9 Today was a perfect art day, I was buzzing about doing All The Art. It was one of those days where I felt like I was on top of my game. I unwrapped two canvases and got my gesso layers on. They do come with the claim that they are…

Scent of a Rose finished painting
100 Day Project Day 8 I think I am done with my oil painting. The photo isn’t perfect because some places on the painting are wet, and also we have bright sunshine and this is just a pic for this diary. I don’t paint in oils very often, and I am quite pleased with this,…
