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
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
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
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
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
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
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…

Dragging Myself to the Finish Line
I am within touching distance of the finish line with this one, and the painting that is its pair. I’m really hoping I can get the finger out tomorrow and resolve both of them. Ran out of daylight again for the photo, but that’s life here in Scotland in December. Til the morn, Suzanne 663/700

Art Therapy
Some days you just need a large piece of paper, some Derwent XL blocks, gesso and a lot of big, gestural movements. “Civilasational erasure” indeed. Pfffft. Til the morn, Suzanne 662/700

Knuckle Down
I worked on a few different canvases today, and I was avoiding these two, which are under my self-imposed upcoming deadline, but I did pick them up and do some work on them, so I can pat myself on the back for that. They are looking a bit washed out in the photos which is…

New Pose Workings
Tried out a new pose in my A3 sketchbook, and then I tried doing some small graphite sketches of the same pose, and I was not amused. I just really did not want to draw that small. I put one of the 20x60cm canvases on the easel and started roughly sketching a second standing pose…

All Fingers and Toes
I spent a lot of time colour mixing today, and making notes in my sketchbook, and then I worked on these two, and I think they are working well as a pair. I have been looking for another image to use for a third, but haven’t decided on that yet. I have chosen the other…
