One Hundred and Fifty
Day 150 feels like a milestone, and I am thinking about how this daily practise has changed me. I saw a thing the other day online, and I can’t remember where it was, but it was a commentary that said that if you commit to doing art/creativity as a daily practise for X amount of…

Table Incoming
I’m so excited 😃 Yesterday I ordered a table that I have been hankering after for ages. I’ve chosen it as my birthday present, and I can’t wait. It’s a workshop table, and it’s going to sort-of replace the one I have that is a bit wobbly. The new one is height-adjustable, has power outlets,…

Keep the hand in
I had a bit of an Artist Date today, and went for a beach walk. I prefer going in the early morning, but today it was lunchtime, and busy. I’ve been doing some miles this week, and just between yesterday and today I’ve walked 11 miles, 35 miles for the week. I wish my weird…

Still Collecting Screams
The first sketch I did today was from a previous sketch of mine. I was testing an Art Graf product, and I remember I really liked it, and yet I haven’t used it much. Note to self. Trying to replicate a complex facial expression with my scratchy shitty brush was a challenge. I wasn’t going…

Collecting Screams
Today I did a lot of tidying in my art spaces, clearing the decks, so to speak. My dogsitting decamp to downstairs left a lot of things lying around mid-flow, and I am not in the same place now, so I reset my space so I can find out where I am. One thing that…

Turquoise Hair
Today I did some practise with gestural figure drawing, and a bit of colour. I like what happened here. Til the morn, Suzanne 145/200

Practise Makes Progress
Today I pulled out my A4 sketchbook and plastered some gesso onto some pages. They probably don’t need the gesso for what I planned to do, but spreading gesso on a page is as much of a ritual and a signal as it is a specific requirement. It tells you something is happening. Even though…

Post Election Blues
We got the Tories out. Yay! Labour won, if you don’t look too closely at the details, but we think Starmer is a disaster in waiting. Scotland gave the SNP a bloody nose, that wasn’t unexpected, but was somewhat bloodied than expected. Frustrating and disappointing. Lots of bigots lost seats, but England returned some fash,…

Five Minute Figure
This is a challenging reference, and I’ll probably give it a few more attempts, but this is today’s sketch. Might get some painting done tomorrow. Til the morn, Suzanne 136/200

For The Love of Murph
A worrying few days as the senior pooch we have been looking after started refusing food, including the ham wrapped meds he needs to take. I am not kidding, I did barely anything on Saturday other than sit and watch him breathing, praying that I wasn’t going to be faced with a horrible situation. I…

Sunday Scribble
Daily sketch… sculpting a face from scribbles and continuous drawing. Til the morn, Suzanne 134/200

Sad Horse
I’m trying very hard not to freak out because the senior dog I am dogsitting has gone off his food, and I can’t get food or meds into him. He is drinking water, but not a lot. He seems to have an upset tummy, so hopefully it will pass, but it’s getting quite worrying. He’s…
