I’m having fun doing digital drawings of people with their heads thrown back; today a sunny little one, another ginger, who was gazing at clouds. Ah, I remember doing that when I was little. It brings to mind the poem “Leisure” by Welsh poet W. H. Davies ….. What is this life if, fullContinue reading “To Stand And Stare…..”

Having Fun
Only last week I was complaining about how I’d hit a creative block and how miserable I was with making art. Over the last few days I’ve been having loads of fun, doing digital drawings of people with their heads thrown back. It isn’t a flattering pose but it’s great practise drawing pretty extreme foreshorteningContinue reading “Having Fun”
Sketching In The Dark
It’s late and Husb and I are just back from a comedy gig at Cinema&Co with the surreal comedian Noel James. I had a quick scribble in the dark, it wasn’t easy, but it’s good practice. And now I’m off to bed. Nos da. Good night.
In My Comfort Zone
I’m hooked now on these foreshortened views of people with their heads thrown back Husb and I went to the new art shows throughout the city today and I asked people if they’d pose for a photo with their heads thrown back and I got seven victims – er I mean volunteers! It’s been funContinue reading “In My Comfort Zone”

Another Nose Job!
Yesterday, I did a bit of drawing practise of a head thrown back with some severe foreshortening. It was so much fun that I did another today. My poor long-suffering family are posing for me. I have a lot of family. There may be a lot of these nose jobs…..
Putting The Work In….
Putting The Work In…. So the past few days I’ve been slapping an underpainting onto a canvas but now the serious stuff has to start, I need to get stuck into the details. I want to have the head thrown back from the torso so I took a few photos of long-suffering Husb (I guessContinue reading “Putting The Work In….”
Anything Goes…
I’m not a painter. I draw, I make original prints, I experiment with mixed media work. But I rarely paint. So as far as I’m concerned, anything goes. If something doesn’t work out, I can paint over it and start again. So I don’t know what the rules are (well, some of the basic ones,Continue reading “Anything Goes…”
Just Get On With It!
Just Get On With It! I find making art really hard. People often say to me, “how lovely to work at something you enjoy“. WRONG!!! It’s blood, sweat and tears all the way for me. I get stuck in cycles of creative self-doubt which are absolutely paralysing and I’ve been in one for some monthsContinue reading “Just Get On With It!”
