Had a virus a couple of weeks ago and have been poorly ever since, something like post-viral fatigue which has really wiped me out so I haven’t done much artwork. Here’s one of the redrawings I have been doing, based on the drawings I did en plein air throughout South Wales earlier in the year, working into a brown paper sketchbook with white, sanguine and black conté crayons. These redrawings are allowing me to move towards greater abstraction and this one almost looks like a mask.

You take on way too many viruses! Stop it! Let others get their fair share! Please let Sparta and Ming know that they should be more vigilant in protecting their house apes! Keep those viruses away!
Lovely, lovely drawing! Keep ’em coming!
hahaha I think Sparta and Ming are conspiring to bring the viruses in!!!! It’s a particularly nasty one that’s in the area, some people are suffering for up to 5 weeks, but it’s not flu so the annual jab isn’t any protection. Anyway, we’re off to Cyprus tomorrow for a week of sunshine and – hopefully – rest. Though after a couple of days we’ll probably want to take ourselves off on hikes and come back shattered. Kitties are being looked after by their Aunty, M’s sister. They always con about twice as much food out of her, so they’ll be on diets over Xmas.
Hope your holiday is wonderful! I’m jealous! Soak up that sunshine ☀️
😄
Back from Cyprus, slightly more pink than usual and feeling so much better. Sunshine does the trick. Cyprus is fabulous, we were in the Northern, Turk ish, part, quite unspoilt. I did some drawin, yaaayyy
Feel better soon Rosie, glad you can still do these terrific drawings, I love the conte on that brown paper. hope you’re back to tickety boo real soon x
Thanks Phil, just a winter malaise I think. Going for a few days in the sun soon, do me the world of good 🙂
The face of an intriguing creature is emerging – from abstract back into figurative 😀
Hope you feel better soon xx
Yes, it’s interesting what’s happening 🙂
Feel better! I’ve had some more health issues last few months and I am frustrated and not able to make art yet.
Good news is that both cataract surgeries went well, and when I am able to get new glasses, my vision will be wonderful! Very grateful!
Happy Christmas!!
Oh I’m just having a bit of a whinge 😡 I always get lots of viruses this time of year, it’s our climate. Such good news about your cataract operations 😀
Simply beautiful
I try and look at it
As your waiting for the next great push
As always Sheldon
Thank you 🙂
