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
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…

Mixing Up The Art Supplies
I started the day with a small oil painting, a study in a canvas sketchbook. My subject was a still-life of two oranges, a blueberry and a banana. This is me trying to kickstart a (maybe) daily oil painting practise. I hadn’t pulled out the oils for a while, and I really enjoyed playing with…

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

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

Today’s Warm-up
Another day where I can’t share most of what I’m working on because, well, it’s December 😉 so here’s today’s warm-up sketch. Til the morn, Suzanne 668/700

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…

Art Interrupted
Today’s plan went out the window. I was happily bobbing along, working to plan, when I got a message that the vintage bookcase we bought at the weekend was going to be delivered. It was bought, paid for, and labelled Sold, but we weren’t expecting them to deliver for a while because they usually wait…

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…
